Amgels touch the impaled
body of a Nabokov
butterfly.. bringing him
back to life.. he wings away
*******
Isaac Bashevis Singer said of Nabokov:
No lepidopterist's collection in the entire world...full if iridescent wings, is worth the life of a single butterfly.
what those who love peace say of those who act violently
in war, in execution chamber, in slaughterhouse:
No military project in the entire world.. is worth the
life of a single butterfly..
how many butterflies are snuffed with each bomb?
each tank?
