#Saturated with New #Color – v2


Seemingly wet, alive

dripping, overflowing,

saturated with new color,

each flower giving, sharing,

pouring out, into the wings

of the regal swallowtail.

 

More than painted,

much more than reflected,

dripping with living color

transferred in the instant,

the moment it lowered,

landing on each bloom.

 

Momentarily truly different,

the butterfly changing,

infused, permeated, dripping,

immersed in the liquid color,

the wings of the morning

the butterfly more than a canvas.

 

Living color moving

a chemical transfer

from flower to its wings

alive and enduring

so powerful, living,

in my memory.

I was really struck by how saturated the

wings of the butterfly were by these colors,

from the flowers it landed on, not just

as if it was reflected onto the outside of the wing
but as if it was infused into the wing itself,

changing its very color for the moments

in time it stayed on each flower.
