  1. Sham butterflies and Quotidian Moths
  2.  
  3. [disgusting little critters,
  4. my roses, my gardens,
  5. all for an invisible audience,
  6. you defiled]
  7.  
  8. Every flap you make, wrath roils within
  9. Per scale you shed, eyes bleed out irritant
  10. Air envenomed filled with flutterworm dust
  11. Nightfalls, dusk the lights; Daybreak, burn flowers
  12. Larvae-bags festoon my gardens, nasty
  13. Mangled leaves adore my roses, satire
  14.  
  15. My mire is null to what They catalyze,
  16. With daily bread, my hunger is shed-
  17. WHO CHEWED MY ROSES DEAD
  18. CUT THERE SCALY MOONS, RIBBON THEM TO SHREDS
  19.  
  20. Let the jester sing; pestilent, galling,
  21. Couth thoughts in Vietnamese water torture
  22. This blasphemous volatile imagery
  23. Conductor of the volcano choir
  24.  
  25. [A Stockholm cocktail of homesickness and crave
  26. Those little bugs might spark my day
  27. the excitement lost, my energy fades
  28. through the titter tatter window, i gaze]
  29.  
  30. Eve garrote me, lorn air fills my blue chest,
  31. Quotidian Moths and Sham Butterflies,
  32. This air; wenched, defiled spilling from the brim,
  33. This air; now doctored, sterilized and clean.
  34.  
  35. Morn shivers, bogus light burns the flowers,
  36. Sham Moths and Quotidian Butterflies,
  37. My gardens are clean; roses full of glee,
  38. my daily bread, my hunger is shed.
  39.  
  40. A Chorus of lizards, pollen, bees, flies
  41. A Solo of the junebug ever brown,
  42. A percussion of the cat on the trash,
  43. But flutter-worms, moths; they never sang
  44.  
  45. [My home is as empty as my garden
  46. full of nothing...]
  47.  
  48. A noisy solitude, drive me insane,
  49. I NEED MY FLUTTER-WORMS!
  50. I NEED MY MOTHS!
  51. Dance again like you used to; in love, joy
  52.  
  53. Bring them back! I command the loft wind,
  54. I am old, grey and I won't die alone!
  55. Ghosts, ants, lizards, anyone; whisper to me
  56. "I will be alright"; daylight is fading
  57.  
  58. Brown wings, green eyes, a pink little thorax
  59. White winged, flutter-worm, together they lay
  60. Still, upright, fluttering with pride and face
  61. The breeze, however, was really clever
  62.  
  63. Gentle, motherly; breeze flicker their wings,
  64. Harsh, searing; tore their fickle worm bodies,
  65. They were grace, such a satisfying sigh,
  66. Until the wind shuffled their frail carcass,
  67. All sky high.
  68.  
  69. I know i will join them, sooner or late,
  70. Their place is a cliff hanger away
  71. Forgive me, butterflies, moths, nightshade
  72. The fool now, i will join you right away.
