Hour 10: Away with the butterflies

 

We used to go to the art gallery

with the gorgeous garden

and all the famous to us

statues to watch the frogs,

listen to the birds, and cover

ourselves in sharpie poetry –

 

We used to go to concerts for charity

singing along to songs we didn’t r

ealize we even knew the words to

and danced with strangers who were

so good at reminding us to

stay kind. Stay gentle. Stay wild.

 

We used to go to each others houses

coated in things we’d rather not

remember weighed down by problems

that were not ours to solve.

 

These  days you’re out soaring

away with the butterflies and

 

none of those places have been

the same since you went away.
