Butterflies

In essence, you are neither
lover nor demon, but
the temperate wind
stirring my sorrowful
past – conduit of unrest.

(Tuesday, I borrow from my Twitter poems. Visit me @Vjknutson.)

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by VJ

I had to stop and think about butterfly metaphor–which is one of the things I like about your poetry. It stops me.

Borrowed? Did I unconsciously lift this from something else?

  Nevermind, as Rosanna Rosanna Danna once said, just read my original post and realized I borrowed from myself. Body is moving this morning, but obviously brain is not. Cheers.
