Butterflies
after Hilda Morley
What fun
they have in their
diz-
zy
dance
as they shimmy
from lilac
to lavender, flirt
with fritillaries —
with no
plan to guide
them through shrubs
and borders
no map to chart which petal
to land on.
Gid-
dy with nectar, they
flit from
flower to flower
in a promiscuous flutt-
er
of
wings.
Iris Anne Lewis
