one fine sunny day today, and i am chilling to my bones when i am raring to be outdoors. like a freshly painted image i see through the bay window, two wine-red butterflies gracefully diving, while chasing each other Above the lush grass-covered ground, of our front garden, passing beyond and below purple and yellow orchid flowers. then, upon the stem of a palm leaf the birds are in a row, taking their time watching butterflies go by. Rising from a chair, my knees are shaking a bit, feeling tied together.... Still in my pajamas, I see my red-painted toes Wonder why they are all folded so i bend some more to feel them toes Uh-oh....they're all so froze another bout of popsicle toes.....
