Yellow Butterflies
my new best friend
and i
went for a walk –
we looked at the sky
and listened
for rocks that talk –
although I think
I was more interested in those
than she.
plants and bugs
were much more
to her liking
although she tolerated
my eccentricities
when we went hiking
perhaps it was the
flowers on my dress –
perhaps not…
but we found ourselves
surrounded by
a bevy of butterflies,
each one of them yellow
they lit on my dress,
scrambled onto her side.
she looked at me questioningly
and I just shrugged,
as perplexed as she
reluctant to lose
our colorful, gentle escort
we stopped to lie
down in the grass
and look up
at the clouds in the sky
until the butterflies moved on.
