Mask of Silence

Hunched, I crawl
among glorious poets
words tumble onto me
I listen
in silence
crows hold court
proclaim me guilty
there is truth
I murdered the Butterfly
her beauty angered me
jealousy raged within
I crucified her
tacked her to my collection
butterflies die around me
beauty frozen on a pin
silence
looms
do not kiss me
or I will kill you too
