nothing but light & a butterfly

the gap between right and wrong — the feather on an angel’s breath — the division into light and dark: the song of a blackbird, and a wren — the dawn breaking now with new light, or vision:

nothing matters any more
only the grasses
swaying in the breeze
& a white butterfly
at one with light
