a butterfly on daisy wings
sailed in to say hullo
she came to rest on the table
and cheerliy greeted me
and i smiled.
i got her some watered honey
(her very fave)
in her own special shoddy,
etched with a snowflake
and she sings
"i jsut want something
i can never have"
in her high little voice
like she does every time she sees her glass
old joke, but it still makes us grin,
and then we settle down
me in the blue chair
she on the green glass plate
and we chat about
whats happened in our lives
since she last came for a flying visit.
and she tells me how my cabbages are going
and i tell her how lovely are her wings
and we munch on chocolate
and gingerbread
and tell stories untill late into the night.
then i remember
'oh! i have to go. i have to go meet friends at poets_corner'
thats ok, she says, i should be going anyways.
and we smile
and she kisses me
little butterfly kisses
little sticky watered honey kisses
and i open up my stained glass kitchen window
and while she soars out into the sky, her own stained glass sunset,
i wave and wave and wave.
