Ode to the Last Black Swallowtail Caterpillars in the Withering Jungle of Fennel

 




Ode to the Last Black Swallowtail Caterpillars in the Withering Jungle of Fennel

You are young
in the golden season of death.

Within your chrysalises
you will wait out the cold season of dormancy.

The sky will welcome you
in the bright season of flight.
