The Fable of the Butterfly
A butterfly landed nearby.
It had auburn wings
and azure circles on each,
like a pair of eyes
that looked through me.
“Butterfly, you are beautiful!” I cried.
“You give me pleasure.
I love you.”
“Love is a beautiful thing,” said the butterfly.
“I need food. You have flowers.
Can I drink from them?”
“Of course,” I said.
“But aren’t you going to love me back?
I am a butterfly just like you.
Tell me that you see it!”
“Nothing that I say,”
she said, “can make you a butterfly.”
“If you want to be a butterfly,
be one.”
