July 17th

Nocturnal butterfly. Shunned night-floater. Ungraceful, flutters to the tainting yellow glow of a courtyard nightlight. Seduced by the poisonous luminescence that outshines the honest subtlety of stars, moon, and fireflies . Soars through nicotine thunderheads; swirls and flaps through corrupted nimbostratusses. Addiction.

(This is a moth flying through a cloud of cigarette smoke.)
