A BUTTERFLY'S SHADOW

her words
a butterfly's shadow
flitting from flower to stone

a broken cobweb trying to
attach itself to a sunset
words not said

tearstearstears
"Breathe with me.." says the sea
"Shhhhh...seee....shhhhh!"

the stranger has your ringtone
also your eyes...hair
& smile

she passes by
like a ghost of you
I cry

strangers everywhere
pretending to be you
statues to my grief

dark night
a cigarette glow
marches up&down& down&up

every so...often
the glowworm glow
of a mobile phone

the cigarette cast aside
an arc to the right
footsteps walk away into the dark
