Butterfly Feet

Grant Hope #206

Butterfly feet buttons
flapping off of the canvas
spinning around a thin woman’s legs
as she lounges against a background pegged
of a purple yonder

The bright shade of her pelt
against the spring colors of wings
inspires me to think of the coming spring
of love and sunshine

Perhaps I’ll spend my time with someone divine
on a boardwalk
at a forest
at a beach
then we’ll marry
at a butterfly sanctuary

There we’ll meet once more
the flapping wings that took us on tour
painting the canvas
in the middle of Kansas
with my darling’s allure
