Poem: Butterfly Dreaming

 

Butterfly Dreaming

 

sextants and chandelles

frolic in my head,

a romp costumed by petals and

festoons of pollens

which lark through frilly planets

whose equators breathe in

to blossom toward the next.

 

i straddle this aerial world

serpentine of reel,

lost in one romance

only to cartwheel-flutter toward its mate.

my senses so blurry,

a nag champa vermillion cavatina pachbel guitar bouquet.

 

 truth emerges, unbelievable,

in the aftermath of an orgy 

of ecstatic wavy fractals:

we should all wield butterfly cocoons

as agile as lariats of love

and wrap them snugly around 

any glooming seeds of war and hate.
