Three Micro-Poems
whispers in the air
waterfall of butterflies
flutters in your heart
—after an account by Phil Torres of The SOUND of Millions of Monarch Butterflies fluttering in winter retreat in the mountains of Mexico [six-minute video at The Jungle Diaries, 6 May 2019]
:::
a tropical wave
spins into a hurricane
swirls inside the Gulf
dances on television screens
whirls and whirls inside the head
:::
trapped in the night
white lines you once followed
lead only to flames
