The Butterfly
The butterfly danced in the air careless,
silent, elusive, circling the room erratically.
Occasionally it’s iridescence
would reflect, as it floated by,
on the blank white paper, long on my desk.
The soft breeze from the open widow,
on which the creature was carried
now an invisible barrier to its escape.
