Dissolving hug

 

Last evening,

I almost stepped on

An empty, cold cocoon

Left by a butterfly

and paid deep homage.

It tells delicious stories

Of liberation.

Celebrate my friend,

Celebrate.

Any flowing towards yourself

Is homecoming.

Forgive anything that

makes you forget

You’re breathing—

Anyone that stands between you

And the light in your eyes

Badly wants your dissolving hugs—
