Aphrodite Breaches Cocoon

Aphrodite Breaches Cocoon

written by: Stuart M. Klimek

 

A butterfly circled, dancing effortlessly,
Flying gracefully, hailing inflorescent jewels.
Knitted lepidopterans, masquerading naiads,
Opening pliantly, quiveringly, raddled silk threads,
Undressed — vibrant wayfarers
Xochipilli’s youthful zeal.

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Lepidotera is the order of insects that includes the butterfly and moth
Xochipilli (“Flower Prince”) is the god of beauty, dance, and flowers in Aztec mythology
