Midnight Butterfly
Perhaps a shadow of my former imagination Flickering, fluttering in the corner of my (heart?) eye Happiness is like the butterfly Sinking to the bottom of the kill jar Spread, sprayed, and pinned to velvet Mounted for the world to see for ages Or Is reality like the butterfly Floating, flying through winds across the …
Had You Let Me Love You
Had you let me love you I would’ve been home by now, Cooking you something light and quick Laughing on something we had seen in passing Oyster sauce, my bad chopstick technique Crumb at your lip, tongue tip Sweet corn, plum sauce, oyster dip What might have we seen, Walking dogs talking Laughter on trails, …

“You’re not yourself tonight,” my friend said, interrupting his gleeful tale of tribulation and setting down his pint. We were ensconced firmly in our corner of the pub, a regular Friday meeting place where we could solve the problems of the world, and wonder to the heavens if we would want to be in charge …
