Cerro Pelon

Macheros (the Mexico/Michuacan border)

1.

Lying on a soft century

of pine needles

Air dusted with sun-shot orange

Monarchs

clustered

in tall pines

    drop

    flutter

    glide

A million wings -

a subtle and holy thrum.

2.

A river of butterflies

roll & tumble

down green corridors

A celebration of saints

dance their way

past outstretched arms

to a sunlit field.

    

3.

Dress me in butterflies

Cover me in butterflies

Comfort me with butterflies

My eyes

my eyes

filled with butterflies

Bury me

when you

bury me

in the midst

of butterflies.
