Butterflies

lightness sudden melting weakness
a flipping flopping fluttering wave under my ribs

brief feather light touch brushing smooth skin



inhale deep sweet air fills my lungs
heart pounding blood in veins pulsing rushing in ears

smile eyes lighting up the bubble of laughter



consuming warmth down tips of toes fingers clenched
knees tremble

words (you know) voice words words words



a pink spreads up my cheeks betrays
up through the roots of hair on fire burning

thought unbidden a secret a dream whisper close



eyes closed exhale
