Iris and Butterfly

Folder: 
Flowers Sunspun

A deep purple iris.. some

petals to soul infold

.. some

to world

unfold.. and not

til a day of

awesome power did

one see

that half of the bloom

was a royal

purple butterfly

.. not petals

but wings.

She

might have seemed

by work earthbound

but as she takes flight

or of a sudden alights

she is always free.





CLEAR CUTTING



Lawnmowing

.. a form of

clearcutting..

of the tiny,

the powerless,

the voiceless



(see SEACC website

for details on fighting

Alaska forest

clear cutting)
