Glass Winged Butterfly


Gliding along the wooden planks As coals of emerald Kindled his face I caught a glimpse of a transfiguration. Soft winds swept up my cotton skirt Past polished shoes and mounds of earth. Then it lifted my chin Through jaded sand dunes, Where infinite grains Flooded delicate rings Speckled with promises in metallic frames. His rhinestones charred And their tapestries glistened And I knew I was dancing With a glass winged butterfly.
