the life of butterflies and willows

butterflies
fly in the night
with their wings like
stained glass windows
they are
taking flight
away from this town
for willows

willows
sleeping
in a town with
drunken keepings
they will
never know
how beautiful they could be
in the show

willows
welcome the
butterflies with infatuation
rogue
in all the towns
they are

willows
embracing
in a town with
drunken keepings
they will
never know
how useless they are being
in the show

the key
of life (the show)
butterflies
are greedy men and
harlots are
willows
