Wax ButterfliesA Poem by Neville............. if ever a love there was.. but beware of those Panama Hats :)Wax Butterflies I do still miss her you know at least I do occasionally .. and always in a panama hat .. No, not the one you gave her but similar .. and sitting, sipping water from the same cracked stone jug .. That’s how I often picture her these days and anyway .. The last time .. the day was a b***h .. talk about hot .. Even so, those old well-worn steps were still cool and kind of kind to the feet .. appeared to me, then to be drowning and lost tho’ in my oversized and paint daubed shirt .. Yes the one, that used to be mine Tired as it was and tied loose at the waist .. Hey, dont you think she looked great Yes I noticed the same buttons were missing and that look on her face, the one that said Yes, this is me and I’m free Oh’ f**k .. for a moment or two I almost forgot she was free .. But hey .. my imagination ran riot that day and for all that I know she may have just melted away right there, before these very blue eyes of mine .. Much like that wax butterfly she once took from the window to protect and keep out of the sun .. As soon as I dared tho’ turn around and look back, They had both disappeared and were gone ...
