you want to impale my
beating heart, a butterfly
still fluttering its wings.  Your

collection fills miles of
dim halls, fragile dead ones pinned
to the walls.  The bright colors
have faded into hopeless
dusky hues, unnoticed, the
feathery wings are moldy,
crumbling to dust.  But this

fresh specimen will elude
you and your clever net of
artifice and charm.  For my

heart wants no collector, but
another who's tenuous,
soft, weightlessness embodied.

-Jess
