recent recognition of
surprising butterfly
power
wings with influence
both near and far..
science’s magic
a poem might share
finding joy and strength
a freedom flight…

a poem as bone
a spinal light
iterating downward
then looping  up..

one word trembles with
joy/suffering  
finding its home

our fraction slash
a new poetic linkage
an evolving vision
separating/joining

locating at last
the waiting bone
spinal light connecting

our butterfly/wings
even now returning
freedom flight arriving
a prayer
a poem…
