Day 29 - Pirouettes in the garden

 Bangalore diaries

Talicada nyseus, the Red Pierrot

Black and orange flashes I spy.  
Low pirouttes among the Kallanchoe leaves. 

Restless movements, always fluttering
A brief perch and I capture the moment  
white frilled edge, so delicate.

I chase it; it vanished
Unhappy with my intrusion 

I apologise.

I meant no harm.  

But it was gone.  Did I dream it?
