rapturous in marzipan
on an apricot morning
a moth pink and yellow
as Battenburg cake
clings to the screen door
The light over the cabin door in the forest where I live often attracts exotic insect life. This moth appeared one April morning. Battenburg cake is also pink and yellow, made of sponge in cubes, as reflected by the screen door here. Some claim that the cake was created to honor of marriage in 1884 of Queen Victoria's granddaughter to Prince Louis of Battenberg. Which has nothing to do with this moth!
