the butterflies are restless.
or they're migrating. or coming home.
or something.
this morning i drove through a flurry of butterflies.
the sky alive with orange and black against a cloudy backdrop.
small speckled wings midflight.
it was delightful.
yes, it even made me slightly giddy.
except i kept worrying they would splatter all over my windshield.
butterfly innards streaks on glass like a biology assignment.
a blizzard of butterflies hurrying to some secret destination.
littering the sky.
if you'd ever wanted to capture the elusive creatures it would be so easy.
as simple as stretching out your arm and closing your hand into a fist.
