Butterfly Herbs on the 22nd of May

Butterfly Herbs on the 22nd of May

salted caramel
the clatter of dishes
soft music harmonizes with hushed chatter

under tin ceilings
older than the living who
after a year stuck in their caves venture forth

to sit as always
among bins of coffee and jars of tea

all seems normal
even the snowflakes in the early morning

gracing the hills

adorning the trees
