Now I am become Butterfly

About This Author

I am SoCalScribe. This is my InkSpot.

Now I am become Butterfly

The simple and unassuming butterfly
so infinitely capable of mass destruction

Hurricane-force whirlwinds
swirl and twirl in the aftermath
of one beat of its sheer wings

How can it be
so blissfully unaware
of the chaos it sows with every move

Unless the blissfully unaware
simple and unassuming butterfly
is really just a beautiful,
delicate obliterator.
A destroyer of worlds.
