Today the upside down butterfly It landed on me The blue brick wall It fell beneath my feet I walked it to the underground tunnel Where the black eyes Looked into me like the kaleidoscope Hanging from my ceiling above my bed They took my eyes And not knowing of their sadness I fell into the carpet I sunk into the floor Four whole hours I watched the children run away I watched without watching I loved without loving And I fell without falling The sound of crackling eggshells reminded me of what I could not see The way he touched my melting lips Simple ecstasy All something I could not see I forgot of the black eyes And the butterfly It landed where I could not see Could not hear Could not feel But as I walked through my own thoughts I could think I could do anything I was me
