MOTH
A moth is a butterfly’s dark twin
dressed in drab wings.
She isn’t scary
Think of her as a different thing
a plain clothes fairy
She loves the electric light
that shines through the window
just like guess who
when she’s flying in from the garden
yes you
The moth doesn’t bite
or scratch or sting
she can only hurt herself
flying too close to the light,
burning her wings
This is a poem about Moths.
