THE MOTH:



As the morn pours vapoured life from dawn´s rosy-ewered lip,
You´re born struggling, emerging, wet-fragile-winged-tip,
As the sun fills the day´s begging bowl with life for you to sip,
You dance with sunbeams, & from the moon´s mantle you gently slip,
As dusk commits sepia suicide & into oblivion accidentally skips,
You flirt; you mate, knowing this is your only once- in- a- lifetime trip,
As into the obsidian ink of night, your wings make their final dip,
 For you the moth, one day is all, beaten by life´s short cruel whip.
