Butterfly Belly, Orchid Face (Free verse) by Sunny
Butterflies, clamped hands,
a sight (a euphoric vision to the beholder),
with physical want and mental cravings
like a pregnant womanâs.
That is love in all its glory,
resounding off color:
a ricochet of lovely words off
skeletal trees. The mango sun will shed
its coat to radiate a brighter yellow sun,
and the hazy-eye sky imitates the elegance
of Londonâs smog head cold;
you that see exaggerated reality,
must be kissed by love,
must have a fluttered belly,
it will grow you a dazzling orchid.
