We're alive
and can see...

Even the pain
of memory...

Better
to write a poem...

The beatific smile
hides the devil...

If I could
bottle this feeling...

Been there
done that...

Try to catch
something elusive...

The beautiful
monarch butterfly...

Was it
only yesterday...

With economy of words
tap my well...

Exoskeleton
carapace...

I wither
on the vine...
