Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly on A Bird of Paradise — Image by kenne
Yellow butterfly,
its wings flicker
like thighs parting.
The flower trembles,
stamens sticky,
pollen dust falling,
sweet stink of heat.
Butterfly enters the flower,
slow as the insect’s tongue
sliding into nectar.
The air itself
quivers,
a humming body,
a wet mouth,
a raw opening.
Sunlight hard on the skin,
sweat dripping,
everything exposed.
The butterfly lifts—
nothing holy,
nothing profane,
just wings,
just hunger,
just flight.

My Bird of Paradise
Pleasing to behold
Is alive and has a soul
Paralyzed by love.

Tailed Orange Butterfly on Mexican Bird of Paradise — Image by kenne
Hello little butterfly
don’t fly by
I’ve waiting for you.
Dressed in my best colors
I dance in the breeze
desiring your kiss.
A flighting visit
becoming your fancy
if only for the moment

Mexican Bird of Paradise– Image by kenne
Look at what the morning brings
the sun rising over the mountains
bringing life back from death
towering stalks holding buds
above the desert’s dry rocky soil
soon blossoming in yellow and red
the beautiful Mexican Bird of Paradise.
