“The Girl with the Butterfly Mouth”
Her tongue is papery dust;
skin shimmers and folds as she lands in dreams.
Black feelers reach for your innermost thoughts;
lust-backed carnal longings paint indigo scales on wings.
When she lies dormant, her breath steals soft dirt;
soil poisoned by minerals steeped in hatred.
Upon waking
—Mourning Cloak metamorphosis--
her mimicry begins to terrify, your dream now a nightmare.
She binds you to a leaf with the glue of a thousand unicorns,
where your screams are lost amidst thunderous fluttering.
If only you’d known how far she could migrate,
you would never have held her down and said shhh.
