the collection

I started collecting butterflies -

first one on my sleeve, then one on my heart

(which was on my lapel), then one on my knees

(it hopped back and forth with a jitterbug ease)

Then more came, and more. Delighted, I walked

ever lighter afoot as I strolled further up

the downsloping trail, just covered in them

And you will not be seeing me, ever again.
