Butterfly Net

Lately it seems, i’m fishing for words
with a butterfly net.
Just to capture these notions of beauty-
Just a shred of that great gravity of art
that escapes through the mesh
into the exodus of dark

I only want the perfect word tonight
to frame this splendor,
to put it in a crystal jar
and sit in its company-

before she folds her painted wings

and dives for the bottom.
