Chasing a butterfly

I checked the clock
It was past midnight
Two hours had passed without me realising it
And an hour weighs ten hours these
grim days

A fleeting happy moment
Something you want to catch
Like butteflies with blue arms
When you are a child
You gave it to me my dear friend
By sharing your poetry with me
You talked
I cheerly puffed my cigarette.
