A Poem about Passings

Passings


how sad

the passing of time

and with it

the passing of those

we love

I Dreamed a Meme

I Dreamed a Meme

 

In the moments before dawn

just before I awoke

I saw a cave

filled with butterflies

millions of them

quavering

pulsating

cloistered

inside the cave

 

"Stay home, Stay safe"

 

It made sense . . . until I awoke 

and opened my eyes.

 

That’s not what butterflies are made for.
