A Conundrum

In the sunlight

The nascent butterfly

Walked with me,

Perched on my heart’s upper lobe;

I don’t know why.

I grew superstitious

And credulous of a new love

Or felt the old one depart

On a fading flight.

A moment passed by

And the butterfly

Left its footprints

Where it had sat:

Were they from the nectar dip

Or was my heart to blame

For inordinate its tenderness?
