yellow butterfly
passing yellow ixoras
yesterday's watching
of its freedom to pass by
not stopping for a visit
today writing of
that butterfly passing by
its yellow colour
observation clings
to the chance of being here
not somewhere else
where no flowers are blooming
no yellow butterflies fly
coincidence lurks
In the yellow sameness of
sunshine and flowers

I love this explosion of yellow!
ReplyDeleteI love the way yellow shines brightly throughout your poem,
ReplyDeleteGillena, and the yellow liminal space in the lines:
‘coincidence lurks
In the yellow sameness of
sunshine and flowers’.
Missing butterflies make us wonder, they can fly across the Gulf of Mexico to us, but after they lay eggs they die. Who teaches the baby butterfly after being larva where to go next?
