What does the Giraffe dream about?

 
The giraffe is a butterfly without wings,
the penguin is a sea butterfly
and the platypus is a strange butterfly...
and the stork, what does the stork dream about?
The stork dreams of clear skies
full of butterfly wings and giraffe spots,
she dreams of the Antarctic white and the backs of penguins,
She dreams of penguins' orange beaks
and beaks that are not non-beaks of platypuses.

The stork dreams of chimneys,
that do not release smoke to build their nest,
dreams of the iridescence of butterfly wings,
From the spots of giraffes, he dreams of platypus eggs.

The stork dreams that penguins can fly
and giraffes walk in the underwater savannas,
do storks dream of baby platypuses
sleeping in his mother's baby carrier...
the stork has nightmares about humans destroying nature,
polluting the air, land and water, setting everything on fire.

The stork dreams that the giraffe is a wingless butterfly
and the penguin is a black and white butterfly
and the platypus is a strange and beautiful butterfly,
even more beautiful for being strange, the stork dreams
and then wakes up to find herself surrounded by other beings
who dream that one day they will all be butterflies flying in infinity...
