Buttercup

bright light
you’re piercing me blind
with your eyes
.
it was silent
all that’s behind
all my tries
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
.
white light
you’re piercing me deaf
with your lies
.
it was violent
all that’s behind
all my ties
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
Buttercup
.
bright light
makin’ me shine
in your eyes
.
it’s so quiet
and under lies
butterflies
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
Buttercup
.

They match my personality

I have a particular fondness for animals that are just a little quirky.  Some of my favourite creatures include:

• sloths
• lemurs
• flying squirrels/sugar gliders
• grasshoppers
• leafhoppers
• praying manti
• caterpillars
• sowbugs/pillbugs
• tiny mauve butterflies
• worms
• slugs
• snails
• frogs
• salamanders
• crabs
• the little creatures inside butterfly shells that bury themselves in the sand when they get washed up on shore…..

The list goes on…..

…..so do they get butterflies when they’re nervous?

Butterflies have seizures.

[I don’t know if that’s the technical term for them, but they shake after they eat and when they’ve just mated]
