In ways we were
too elegant for the brutality
but too hardened
became hearth.
As for the lengths some people
will go - it is only
to light a candle and shimmers
as it doeth - a moth
flies into it.
But never was seen a protest
against more benefits
for as hands stretched out
or a closed fist,
we withdrew,.,
while a caterpillar then hatched ;
the moths scorched
imprint on its wings shaped
in its shadows
imageries.
That we saw too
as we walked upon this earth,
our footsteps left
in the dunes.
