Butterfly Free

Peacock Butterfly pinned
by the hot tar of the road

her pared wings tremor
the dead body escapes,

butterfly free I drive on
my black exhaust fumes

hovering over the corpse
the freedom of the road

pulling on my arms.


John G.Hall(c)2005

vibrant punch you on the nose images and a brilliantly crafted poem.
