The Butterfly Box,
The Butterfly House
by Sadie Davidson DeVore
Pollen, nectar.
Purple flowers, yellow flowers
Minerals, salts,
Consumption.
Male to female sugars.
Energy, tree sap.
Anglewings, emperors,
Leafwings, wood nymphs.
Pink flowers, yellow flowers.
Fruits, birds, water puddling.
Sand patches, Butterfly bushes.
White flowers, blue flowers, red flowers.
Native plants and trees
Native birds and butterflies.
Feeding, sheltering
In the pines, elms, hops,
Nettles, willows
Warmth in the wood piles
Purple flowers, yellow flowers.
Imago, ecdysis stages
Pink flowers, yellow flowers
Mating day, Zebra
Longwinged,
Chrysalis, removing
Emerging, not flying,
White flowers, blue flowers, red flowers.
Small Apollo, clouded
Apollo Mating
Left alone for the season
And the cycles’ reason.
Purple flowers, yellow flowers, pink flowers,
Yellow flowers, white flowers, blue flowers,
Red flowers,
All in the garden I promised you.
