Wondering I sit here on an old chocolate-brown wicker rocker. Birds, perched on telephone wires, like music notes on a blue page of sky, sing out their compositions. I ask myself, where do butterflies go to die? Yellow, shiny buttercups polka-dot the grass. A dragon fly strikes a pose on the edge of the pond. A purple fluttering catches my eye-- Wings lightly closing, alighting on a petal, sipping nectar-- The delicate flash of color, like a feather, is carried on a breath of air, and continues its journey. But... Where do butterflied go to die?
