Blue Wing

the broken wing of a blue butterfly
land just above a pond surrounded by steam
the forest echo with a small creature's cry
streaming through the air like a summer dream

the blue wing begin to flutter like hair
high towards the sky then dip into a still lake
before flying into the white hair of a mare
drinking its share of thirst as of late

the mare merely brush it away without pro-test
on it goes the blue wing seem to create
a will of its own design floating into a mess
of oil paints on a canvas that soon sedate

the blue wing to its surface of colorful scheme
framed only with a single wicker
