Sky-blue butterflies, large, strong, sturdy, like satin, embroidered at the tips, as if a seamstress had sewn them by hand, butterfly and bodkin.

And another, yellow, all by itself, that appeared one day, shining like gold, quiet as gold; everyone in the house, without thinking, leaping after it, since it was yellow and different. Swarms of black butterflies, which rose from the depths, when mama was five and happened to pass by in a carriage. And she never could forget.

My blue butterfly, caught one April morning by the spikenards; it ended up inside a book; I looked at it years later and on days when I was sick. Martyr of blue leaves; its body like a grape, a black tear.

Fiery red butterfly that fluttered with the others, angel of exterminations, carnation that emits signals; I made out its face under a scarlet bonnet.

White butterfly on the day of the dead. Far from the casket and tears. It spreads across the armoire, the items on the vanity, like froth, lace.

We brush into it without knowing what it is.

My butterfly costume; wide spotted wings. Papa labored over them.

And wearing it, as a child, I faced the world,

the foxes and finches.
