yesterday i cried down hospital hallways
with guitar calluses digging into cheeks
and life lines pressed to lips
as they twisted themselves around
agonised sounds
and apologies barely choked out
to nurses ran full-on into
today i cried on the sidewalk
in the dancing shadow of a budding tree
with spring rain
leaking through the cracks in my shoes
because as i raised my hand to block the sun from my eyes
a monarch butterfly
breezed down from a branch
to land on my finger,
all citrus and air and beauty,
and all i wanted to do
was crush it
with guitar calluses digging into cheeks
and life lines pressed to lips
as they twisted themselves around
agonised sounds
and apologies barely choked out
to nurses ran full-on into
today i cried on the sidewalk
in the dancing shadow of a budding tree
with spring rain
leaking through the cracks in my shoes
because as i raised my hand to block the sun from my eyes
a monarch butterfly
breezed down from a branch
to land on my finger,
all citrus and air and beauty,
and all i wanted to do
was crush it
