Hi JM,
Count me in as another vote for "Powdered." Maybe "powdery" would alleviate that dust cloud. ?? LOL
I knew about butterfly wings--some might not, but those who do will know what you mean. They really can't fly without it, so it's a significant feature. Keep it in!

I love the imagery and the emergence theme. Spinning silk was great too. Nicely done overall!!

PS (edit [Linked Image] Of course glistening ALSO works nicely because the wings are wet coming out of the cocoon, and the image in the lyric is of that moment of emergence/birth.
(how's that for waffling!)
