Under A Dome

 

An inverted dish holds a patterned moth
wings necessarily constrained.
On the one side is shame, taking comfort 
in safety. On the other 
an irrepressible wish- to break free.
Moths able to smile might raise a gurn-smile
ways out by force of will ruled out.
Take strength and hope while fortune's in limbo
both horseshoe bat and moon-light, imagined.
