Fluttering

Fluttering

A Poem by Jake Brunton
"

A new poem. 9/12/2016.

"
Crackle, crackle, crackle-
Fluttering over the trickling stream
The butterfly, lynched and bruised
gasps for air to stay, to live
Living little more than
a life of solitude over the stream

Snap, snap, snapping-
things ever so common to those who flutter
to those who bring the joy
never given reassurement,
lest it be in the name of death
a life of nowhere

Tumble, tumble, tumbling-
little yellow butterfly is crying
Tears that form the stream
For there is nothing left,
but the rush of the water
butterfly flying; you're falling

Quiet, quiet, silence-
Left in the memoir is no more
left in the memory is not all but;
a trickling stream,
felled trees,
and a dead butterfly.
