The crumblin' fields
of my butterfly garden...
flutter nerve endings
in transitions disgrace.
shake fragile now-
in mockery
of feeding empty space...
Tangled me-
I sway to starve,
in spider edged veins-
of you. of me. of precipice.

When I dance the darkest
dance of love~~~
I breathe you
in poignant memory glass...
and drip soft
from the wings of a moth.

These crumblin' butterfly gardens...
~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

There you are!
And you brought a gift! How nice.

This space has been missing these words WAY too long, m'dear.

Take care you

Nice. I like it.

smooth people stray by slinking onward
to the limousine-society
found in alleys hot
with Humanity in passing

drip soft, from the wings of a moth. These words give a feeling, of, drifting while that something else brings you there. Very nice.

then everything is

Nice, the whole motif of the butterfly gives the essence of the poem a very semetrical feel...
