I took the title from this:
“A kite is a victim you are sure of.
You love it because it pulls
gentle enough to call you master,
strong enough to call you fool;
because it lives
like a desperate trained falcon
in the high sweet air,
and you can always haul it down
to tame it in your drawer.
A kite is a fish you have already caught
in a pool where no fish come,
so you play him carefully and long,
and hope he won't give up,
or the wind die down.
A kite is the last poem you've written
so you give it to the wind,
but you don't let it go
until someone finds you
something else to do.”
-- Leonard Cohen, The Spice Box of Earth

This butterfly is commonly called a rice paper butterfly or a paper kite. I know the poem is about a real kite, but I kind of liked the way some of the lines worked with a butterfly, too. |

| Very nice. The framing and coloring is excellent. The contrast between black and white of primary subject and secondary features is great. Good work! |
