She is nothing like a puzzle.
When you put the pieces together in a puzzle,
you know what they are going to look like in the end.
She is more like a butterfly wing.
You have one pigment of colour
and the rest is a mystery.
Who knows how big the wing is,
what shape it is,
or how many different colors are hidden inside.
That little piece of pigment is the dark blue.
So dark that you think it's black
unless is catches the light at a certain angle
And I know there is true black in most of the wing.
I'm just out to find the splashes of color
that keep her flying.
And that is just one wing.
