STRAY BUTTERFLIES

Photo by Jian Xhin on Unsplash

I followed your scent;

a headfirst descent

into loneliness

and regret.

I’m no swimmer

but I can dive deeper

and deeper into you

with every breath

with my head

in the clouds

and my heart

in your net.

a stray butterfly;

adonis blue

and hopelessly

in love with

who you used to be.
