| Aphrodite Fritillary (Speyeria aphrodite) |
The Spool of Love
Let go of me, let go of me, she cried.
And so
he did.
And the string ran free
from the spool
having reached its end.
And the kite sailed away
reluctantly
full of joy
and sadness.
For what you cannot hold
you must relinquish
and what you have to give
calls to be given.

There's a Great Spangled (or Aphrodite), can't tell which, right outside my South Strafford writing cabin, sipping on a clover. Thanks for you pics. Now I roughly know what butterfly it is.
