All the butterflies I felt
when I first saw you,
now crawl to my throat,
and choke me breathless.

5-star &#39;Minimalist Impact.&#39; Melis-j, the image of butterflies &#39;crawling to the throat&#39; is absolute high-wattage visceral poetry. You’ve captured that specific, &#39;choking&#39; realization where a former joy becomes a physical constraint. To say so much about the death of a feeling in so few words is a profound, rhythmic, and masterfully &#39;breathless&#39; #353. #ButterflyChoke
