I counted

the molts of

butterfly to

know when I

might soar,

but was told it

doesn't work 

for us, at

least not

anymore

butterfly

sliptwists

its outside

bones into

perfect flight,

while we with

bones inside

of us use 

breath to 

change 

our sight

why

were we

made soft

flesh outside

yet so deep

in bone?

was it

to forever

feel our

earth and

never to be

shown?
