the moth, under glass
he is quite safe from the world
still, he wants to leave

Nothing living likes
to be caged or trapped
against its will, does it.

Thanks for posting this one.
take care,

To venture into the world... yes, that, I would

as a person who takes care of stray cats, I often wonder if their life, with all they endure through harsh winters, is in fact better than having a life sitting in a cage in the animal shelter day in and day out waiting to be adopted. Someone I think it may be better, with all the danger they may face, they are still FREE

"Pounderful." I like that new word, Emma. Yep, freedom at any price. America could learn much from your words.
