from my book "SKETCHES FROM LIFE"

The child picked a cocoon

And placed it into a jar.

The jar became

A lovely moth,

Its spreading ,

Captive wings

Awaiting death.

The man released

The moth,

The child,

And himself!

No sooner we're born, we're on our way to death. Only you said it better. I liked this.

"Captive wings
Awaiting death" Good line -- good summation of theme.
