False Impressions

Precise preparations
Bold outlines dividing
Reds, Blues, Yellows.
Movements practiced until
Gracefulness appears the natural state.

Then came the rain.
With each dip of a wing
dripped another colorful lie
into the rainbow pool gathering
on the ground.
Until there hovered the
drab, gray truth - a moth in a
field of butterflies.
