Their tiny backs contorted
Under the weight of your secrets
You thought whispering
To the wind was a solution
But you forget the winds messengers
They pluck each secret from your lips
Absorb the words you utter
Their colours dim according to
The weight of your words
Bright yellows, sky blues
Turn to ash and storm clouds
Write your secrets down
Burn the evidence,
The butterflies can only handle so much.
