She keeps those old jeans
Like a souvenir
Black and tight as second skin
A memento of remember when
A slick butterfly
Did appear
On her seams

Wonderful, my friend...similar memories from an
outdoor rock concert when a butterfly DID land on Her jeans and took my breath away ... hmmm, must try to write that somehow.

Thanks for the impetus.

Gotta love these remembrances, Lori, and the butterflies that gave us pause.

Very well said, Lori!

Unfortunately, here in Florida, there are many still prying themselves into those old jeans, looking for moths instead of butterflies!

I have a photo of a butterfly
who landed on a lady person's coif...
but I don't think it lends to
this more personal poem...

well done, friend.
