a glass magnifies
small lapdog
butterfly
landing perfectly
on a flat nose
the glass pushes detail
into a wide eye
the picture is a thumbnail
maximum enlargement
knocks over it digital frame
the butterfly
is mottled yellow and brown
a stand-out contrast to
the black nose
a background
is a female hand in mid-flight
we are all caught

o beau papillon
~ o beautiful butterfly,
Have you whilom explored the inselberg,
To descry its allure,
And its rillets surge,
To see the coruscating sun,
And the meadows hushed afar,
The zephyr whisking leisurely,
Or the bodach with his old guitar,
Have you at all espy the sapphire sky,
And the clouds that move sedately,
Peered inside the fathomless dale,
And discovered the linn falling indistinctly,
O beautiful butterfly,
Have you at all seen the winsome nature,
And felt totally satisfied,
To realise that life is just an unforeseen adventure.

Flittering along with gossamer wings
She espied the lemony yellow rose
Alighting gently, her place to repose
Quietly, her thoughts vague whispery things
She’d flown from up north where the cold wind stings
Now basking in the sun’s glows
Plants and shrubs in haphazardly strewn rows
Resting, listening to natural things
Searching miles for her nurturing milkweed
Living to lay eggs, her purpose in life
Never stopping to question reasons why
Performing her duty, her inner need
Accomplishing with little or no strife
The short but sweet life of this (Monarch) butterfly

Un prisonnier
Pas de guerre
Tout ce que j'avais
Cassé
La terre tient mon cœur
Elle tient mes mots
Mais pas plus, il n’y a rien encore
Cassé
C’est facile
Aussi c’est compliqué
C’est facile quand je dis
Pas compliqué, mais cassé
Tout ce qui a été dit a été dit
Je n'ai plus rien
Plus de mots
Plus de pensées
Cassé
La vie s’est passée

The sadness of life eats me
limb by limb
No longer can I walk
Tears flood my unmoving body
I crumble
under the burden of grey skies
I lie rotting
an afterthought
The maggots that eat me
shall one day fly high in the skies
over the treetops
butterflies with expansive golden wings
shall dance and sing
my dead eyes shall stare up
their beauty derived
from all that consumed me
Death too shall dance in the skies
sweetly seducing the butterflies
thier wings shall flutter to the ground
hugging my decompsed soul
For all of eternity
