Child's Valentine

The spirit of a swallowtail
as big as a house is drifting
through our yard today
an aura of pinks and greens
a black dot fluttering at the center
as if a rainbow touched down
rolled itself together and began
to fly haltingly around the yard
its luminous colors touching
and flowing over everything
and moving on as if the holy
ghost himself had been
out strolling and stopped
to glance across our space
leaving us awed and clean
