butterflies and angels



        butterflies and angels

   with wings we enter each other

for incandescent

                 fluttering moments
                 


flickering our mouths

                      (like moths)

       for brief eternities

           (of touch)

   circling the shining glory

             (yes)

          we plunge in

        our wings aflame
        


     the flame consumes us

        into the bright

    metamorphosis of light
