Poem: Butterfly Dreaming

 

Butterfly Dreaming

 

sextants and chandelles

frolic in my head,

a romp costumed by petals and

festoons of pollens,

on a lark through slight frilly planets,

each equator breathed in

blossoming toward the next.

 

i straddle the aerial world

serpentine of reel,

lost in one romance

only to cartwheel-flutter toward its mate.

my senses so blurry,

nag champa vermillion cavatina pachbel guitar bouquets.

 

a truth emerges, unbelievable, somehow,

in the aftermath of an orgy 

of ecstatic wavy fractals:

that we should wield butterfly cocoons

as agile lariats of love

and wrap them snugly around 

any glooming seed of war and hate.
