A chalk outline marks a death
Her skid on the sidewalk runway
rips the wing from this butterfly
she twitches jumping and trips,
on broken wings, she cannot fly
as insects circle to eat her thorax
teardrops spill witnessing her die
the body's pieces hit by sunshine
wither and the broken pieces dry
a butterfly outline stain is her epitaph
and her kaleidoscope waves goodbye.

The death of a butterfly portrayed. When I first saw the title I was thinking it might be about a human murder.
