A great beast broke the gate of Eden
to eat my sweet
Butterfly-
Turquoise and satin wings
tickled his fiery insides.
The beast laughed bright
stained glass and lady bugs.
My Rose garden ruined,
seared with salty embers.
Only wilted Daisies remained -
washed out by golden white ash.
Liquid marbles left scorch marks,
my small hands scared.
The lady queen-
Landed to tear my sight in two.
Kissed my wounds with honey and lime.
And there, on my small scared hands-
Two white caterpillars.
