black butterflies
these black butterflies fluttered
a frantic within me
black black butterflies
fluttered frantic in me
dark wings caressed my stirred heart
little butterfly legs tickled it
i must be in love
all those butterflies fluttered
my heart
they get like this
they do get like this
the black butterflies gnawed now
they ate away at me
bit
by bit
they fluttered not for love
but to warn
the closer i got
the harder their wings flapped
and little legs danced
these black butterflies flutter
i’ll beware.

I got to meet Endie today! I don’t know what possessed Jeff to overcome his fear of us eloping to Toronto together, but he has somewhat graciously allowed us to meet. It was delightful! I don’t believe I have met anyone who laughs as much as she does. And she’s smart, witty, sarcastic, quirky, kind of like Jeff but in a much less aristocratic way.
