I knew there would be butterflies
For butterflies represent the last soul
Represent the way the wind wanders
Represent the bodies
We only clasp in the middle of a poem.
See, the stars have faded.
There are only butterflies.
Listen to
The terrible sound of their wings moving.
Listen,
The poem isn't over.

--from Song for Bird and Myself; Jack Spicer
