It is so ironic, so irritating and ultimately so depressing when the butterfly you chased all day and caught by twilight loses all the beauty and life it had when it was free.
Between my palms the tired creature wilted. I had pursued butterflies for years and this one fit my palm just right, and yet I had to let it go.
It was not mine.
