Prisoners

[the mingo]

hot humid breeze
wildflowers along the river
bend with it

leaves of the trees
raise with its passage
- a brief conversation -
that does nothing to cool
in the heavy air

four white butterflies
dance over the river

dance together over & up the road

- disappearing to distance
prisoners of hope -

[WIREMAN]

for a hot second i watched 3 yellow butterflies from the train dancing the other day, wondering how long do they survive?

[saw]

scene of summer....could feel the warm breeze....
