Yellow Butterfly


Life make noise within the morning
but within the noise there is a space of silence
and within the silence there is a man
writing gray story

The window is open
but he
writes separated from the morning
separated from something living that now insists
as if from the other side of a windowpane

something living and disobedient
leaning over the page from nowhere
inspecting the path of ink
where words say no
...
It is close
but hidden
like the light within light
like the life within life

but does not choose to be
It lingers
in detached movement
in acute possibility
in a yellow that trembles
It attempts a frail compromise
between deception and substance:
wings
But in a corner of the air
with sudden aplomb

It gathers into a flash
against darkness of leaves
