the butterflies
have lost their wings
but i can still feel
them crawling around in there

just like you once lost your hair
but you came back stronger than ever
maybe this will be a similar case

they don't flutter
they long to

though in their excitement
they just squirm

but they are accepting of their particular predicament

i look at you
and
they
wiggle
& wiggle

they are okay
with their particular predicament

and so am i
