Untitled
June 12, 2014
a butterfly wing laying gently on the icy sidewalk
you scooped it up with your gloved hand
and released it, letting it float down to the sparse coat of snow
we moved on, just an insignificant bleep in the status quo
you said something, and I laughed, an unplanned
gift from a dead butterfly that was just too slow.
two nights ago I dreamt that you died
and now I can't get it out of my mind.
