Native violets

Perse butterflies tempt fate as their
Veil wings settle on the grass.
Gravity in dew, translucent, 
Renders anchor service nonetheless
As tentacles of moisture
Latch themselves to mothback on the morn.

Recalling flight potential
Fliers flail against the damp
And failing that

Recline among the native violets
Covered camouflage protection
Until noon dry sun release.
