Tin Butterfly
Painted a false patina, I am die-cut
perfection, home improvement
store $9.99 turned yard sale
50¢ box. When the door slam wind
rocks me once or twice on this nail,
I make a thin rattle. You smile at me

To me, this perfectly captures the cadence I’d expect from a metallic bauble wind-wracked and tacked to a stud or post somewhere. Thank you.
