Butterflies

Butterflies of thought
light on this page
swordtails of indifference
glass-wings of sorrow,
monarchs of joy.

You know your butterflies

You Red Admiral floating the words onto the page like a magic Fritillary of Swallow tails, or the doom of Cabbage White's even though they are so virginal white and clean. A startling little thought alighting in the most delicate yet sharp wordings of Anna Our Butterfly. Yours Ann of Norway
