Monarchs
Butterfly pomp in wide strokes of sunlight
weighty, fierce
Elevated movement
Frilly flourishes of spirited
pleasure
geography that drifts away
Gravity dismantled
in the seamless slide of summer
Milky flight
balanced by the delicate dust of air
Lush watching
to infer a quiet form of freedom
to ease the labyrinth of age
Nature's slick seduction,
butterflies from a
sparse world
Heart over mind,
unbounded monarchs
sacred
A canvas of weightless flight
in orange-black strokes,
unruly.
