The Butterfly Poems


1. Why do I love the butterfly over the mosiquito -
When both are looking for something to bite?


2. Misquitos and butterflys dance together
With only a critical mind
Demanding something greater


3. Butterflies delight in my company
More than my lovers
Even though cupped hands are their night
But the pleasure of significant others


4. Butterfly pen, ecstatic at the delirium of an unslept 5am.


5. In Yin resides my butterfly self
And Yang my mosquito other
Like a laugh with a catching net
Reveals the complete gardener

6. Summer day
Butterfly flutter
yet these mosquitoes


7. Mosquitoes burden night
Like butterflies brighten day
In this here escape.
