I Want to be Light

I Want to be Light
Like your beautiful wings, oh butterfly,
Gossamer and delicate I hope to be.
So when I pierce the limitless sky,
Radiant sun's kisses spangle joy in me.

Yet like the onion, I am;
Images upon images, a flam.
A non-identity of wrapped sheaths.
Some are mine and some not
Though nothing is left of me.
