The Butterfly's Effect?

An eyelash flicks
And the net is cast.

Infinitesimal sound
A flap and flash of color

Swallowed by netting.
No concern for the effects
Of interconnectedness;
Only dead things pretty
And docile.

Profoundly, a world of such fragile beauty and the eye blinks, gone.Nice,precise brush stroke. I shall be conscious of eyelash flicks for some time now.
