Testing the Cream


Baskets of butterflies filter my thoughts--
    Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea.
            I search family history
                        father
                                    mother

Where is the pattern
            that forms my wings
                        the scales covering my eyes?

      Butter stolen centuries ago
               split, spread
           
Lepidoptera leaving their larvae behind.
