death of a butterfly

butterflies
scattered among the ruins
the weeds
broken propellers
and
frozen gears
bring them
down to earth

inside the mansion
I cannot find the switch
for the chandeliers
so I sit amongst cracked sunlight
and spinning fans
with a bottle of tequila
and a bag of lenses
waiting for my
inspiration
to
surmise
my talents
and see which is greater:

the gift to forget
or the gift
to forgive
