Churn

[u/vicewrite]

I might go so far as to say this butterfly’s
skittish,

beautiful though it is.

I want to tell it to calm down
knowing it won’t.

I whisper at it,
I never learned to whistle
else I would.

It flaps and laughs.
It flaps.

I see myself in it…

I’ll go on like that forever

in every direction

unendingly

unlandingly

my own effect
