The unpredictability of chaos theory
Brazil, or thereabouts:
boundaries count for nothing
where each step’s a machete slash
and heat lacerates skin.
Unfolded crimson wings stretch out
to sniff the newborn air.
Ease out a net, inch out an arm
and wham.
Nip, prop, spread, pin.
Anonymous imago indelibly secured
through what functioned
as a heart.
Undescribed, unclassified;
not so much a species lost:
look on it more as
tsunami prevention in Papua New Guinea.
