More Than Just Barely a Flutter

More Than Just Barely a Flutter

 

Just in case you ever

dare to forget

that final sated flutter ..

Gentle as it

might once have been

against the

rough side of your

now familiar tongue ..

Indeed,

how desperate

it must have then

seemed ..

Most surely futile,

if you ask me,

set like that between

the final gasps

of your very own

lost innocence ..

Just like

some hapless moth,

perchance ..

Unstable and uncertain

why it should,

or when it might

next turn,

to rid itself of those

very flames,

its own scorched

and fragile wings

once inadvertently

fanned ..

Before that is,

a certain realization

eventually dawned

and it occurred to her,

in truth,

she was no phoenix after all
