Photographs, poems and haiku by Derek Ross
Butterflies I know nothing of butterflies, but I envy their embroidered wings, the way they gather and ride the currents of forest and field. I remember, too, those museum trips. The dust cases full of latin specimens, pinned to faded board, their colours crucified. They belong in green places, where they face the wind. Where we can watch, as they gently touch and rest with wings folded, like waiting sails.
"the Beatles didn't 'ave a monopoly on love, no-one does. It doesn't belong to John Lennon, it doesn't belong to Janis, it doesn't even belong to Jesus, love belongs to all of us. It's something we're all supposed to share," - Ami Bane, Pearls on the Road

Love that, Derek – quite hard hitting beneath its gentle surface. And that’s a lovely half-line – ” – their colours crucified.” I’ve never understood that need to kill something so you can admire it – or what’s left of it – when it’s dead.

Thank you 🙏🏻. Old poem I rediscovered today. I agree with you, find those old Victorian collections very disturbing.

There is no beauty in a crucified butterfly. I find those old Victorian collections very disturbing as well.
