Found on a Beach in Uruguay

As out of place as the dead butterfly

Found still but perfect on the white sand

Beach of Punta del Este, its fragile wings

Spread as if in perpetual flight, each

Unflawed vein and dotted sector mirrored

By its twin; the fragility and ephemeral

Nature as undeniable as poetry is to the

Scribe who wakes to pen verse in winter
