One sunny afternoon After leaving a mat out to dry The sun had topped the house Serious had melted blue sky I walked out on the porch When there on display To find a lovely butterfly Had come to play It lit on the soft mat And then without delay I found myself chin to chin Nose to butterfly feet Thinking it would fly away I do not know who had the better view But it told me matter of fact Honey I am not afraid of you I have wings to fly You have only feet with shoes You are stuck to the ground With only a limited scene Do not worry darlin it told me Of all people I know you are not mean Come away with me Into a butterfly dream We can go play in the gardens Make the butterfly scene I said wish I could Then politely declined Besides being nose to foot Whispering with a butterfly Honestly people will think I had flipped my twig Lost my big shade hat Burnt my candied yams But no darlings not any of that Just came out to fetch My silly blue bath mat I made kiss kiss noise Thinking it would frighten it away But instead it kissed me back Tipped its wing Then flew away The fourth of september twenty nineteen bk The quote I heard on you tube about when things were dire and life was seriously in disarray that was then women created beautiful things. This struck a chord so deep. It is way pat three am and I am too lazy sleepy tired to look it up..maybe tomorrow darlinks. Take care of yourselves! |
