The Butterfly Dies Too
I sit
in a dead garden
Withered gray stalks
break under the weight
of life and death
A corpse, technically more complete
as it has already arrived
at its destination
Smoke rises
from this lifeless
place, it suffers no
illusion, it has seen life
and now it sees beyond
Dead ants in a dead anthill
used to be so active
now they rest where
they are, now they turn
to dust
The butterfly dies too
but who would really want
to remain a caterpillar?
