Someone posted a butterfly
in climate control mail container
perfect temperature and humidity.
Laughing out loud... finally
opened hazardous, dangerous
expecting cheating ex-spouse!
and time stood still...
Instead scent of regret
forceful escaping... like steam
a whisper of butterfly.
Message in a bottle
taking up first, top position
nearly forgotten voice on phone.
and time stood still...
"Cut to the chase"... demanding
"no time for chit and chat
why did you send...after so long?"
"Thought you needed a love
didn't think you would, you know?
who sent a butterfly in a box."
and time stood very, very still...
