As soft as a fluttter
of a butterfly
on my dew-moist skin
triggering
the flight
of a thousand butterflies
from the still
swinging flowers,

you bat the eyelid
and smile
and the caress
reaches me
invisible
across the miles,

and I elate
weightless
basking in the sunshine
savouring
and feeling
what you unleashed:
is the flight of butterflies.
