SYNOPSIS
Robert Hillyer’s besotted butterfly hangs from a cobweb rope.
Still as stone, the folded wings will fly no more, Yet all around the sunlit rainbows race.
The gardens bow before a flotilla of milkweed fluff, Yet death delays as the fountain sings on.
To sunset, to moonlight, other gardens, other flowers.
