spades, blades and a butterfly

careful butterfly
why aren't you in the clouds
or wandering among the buds
you flap around on the pavement
and goodness i tried to give you a lift
but refused and took yourself
to the jungles of the lawn
camoflauge now

but ill spot you out among the crowd
animals have passed through
but nothing has caught my fancy
quite like you
the dust i love and nearer to the earth ill be
so among those spades and blades
have buried me beneath
waiting
