specimen drawer with ornithoptera specias

ornate dead specimen,
still symmetrical sensuoicity--
i look at these butterflies
that are just butterflies
which are just butterflies
to which i reduce their
ecstatic enthralling to my
hominim aesthetic--

they are
just
butterflies
pinned still in
glass grave:
still and
velvent and autumn and
vibrant and
lined orderly three by
three rows but psiesmic
to that within me that
just
knows the Beauty
somehow beyond me
through these
ornate specimens
can work through
me
