BUTTERFLY - RECENTLY RETIRED

BUTTERFLY – RECENTLY RETIRED

Grey butterfly, wings spread,
pinned to a board, dead. At least
his position’s clear.

eeeek.

just as all short forms must this carries a great deal of weight or wait. Would any of us prefer our position clear at that cost? It seems many do. cheers, Jess

Thanks For a short time

Thanks For a short time after retirement I felt my identity [once so clear] had left me ... it was a kind of mourning. Mike
