Have you ever found

The silver butterfly that sings

When a month ends

And the sun dips

Beneath the ocean waters


It shrieks profanities

The kind your mother

Would shut the window

And cover your ears for


But you find

These curses to wish

The worst onto all

Are just a twisted lullaby


Lies patched together

As a battered shield somehow

That hides

Our truest intentions.
