From a deep cocoon, protrudes
the wet beginning of a butterfly
But a nub at first,
as curious as I
I coax it to come
I whisper close
my lips brush the fine hairs
moistening it, as it
offers moisture back

It's wings swell, between my lips
It wants to soar
yet pinned by my tongue
Fluttering, it glistens

the moon is blue
each man alone

while the rest transgress
in nakedness

my stubborn conscience,
dreams will be absent.
I've not one, for all fell away
through my open hand,
silent like paper songs
over the side of the bed.
Dreams were let go
to fill my heart of hope
that I carry when I'm conscious.
It weighs me less
though so much in it.
