    A smile made of lace

    Eyes made of cottonwood

    Two wayed and two pronged

    The sharp stick of a joking insult

    One side of the wing are calm and unpredictable

    Different and alluring

    Sincere and blue

    The other side a mix of sharp jokes and glares

    Ignorance and insincerity

    Predictable and grey

    That time between is the flickering of the wings

    Beating into the air, lifting off and lifting away

    Each flap of the wings is like a slowed down video

    The water splashing in just the right way to catch the sun

    Don't watch for too long

    They'll close and hide the brilliant blue

    Exposing only the grey to the world

    Breathe in with each wing beat and breathe out

    Blue and grey joined by the same threads

    Lace is just threaded thread wrapped round and round
