"This melancholy London - I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air. - W. B. Yeats

Butterflies

Warm butterflies

Half-manic in pink hands,

That’s you.

Warm butterflies,

Soft and fragile and

Able to fly like I can’t.

To catch the breeze

And drift away to battlefields of wildflowers.

Hey,

Warm butterflies,

I’ll make the space for you—

Climb on in, shake out your yellow hair,

And drunkenly laugh.

You’re warm and smell like flowers.
