On a morning of sunsets, I plea for silence. The air around me is screaming, The sorrows of old violence. The earth spins on a tilt, And so do I. A shivering twirl, My mind, cock-eyed. In the bleeding form of tomorrow, Who am I to speak? I long for yesterdays, When the pain reached its peak. In theory, I am a butterfly, Dramatised change in flight. In reality, I am a moth, At one with the night.

I Am A Moth
On a morning of sunsets, I plea for silence. The air around me is screaming, The sorrows of old violence. The earth spins on a tilt, And so do I. A shivering twirl, My mind, cock-eyed. In the bleeding form of tomorrow, Who am I to speak? I long for yesterdays, When the pain reached its peak. In theory, I am a butterfly, Dramatised change in flight. In reality, I am a moth, At one with the night.
