BUTTERFLY STORY
Beebe Barksdale-Bruner They say an African butterfly dipping to sip from a rainwater depression maybe, or erratically dancing as butterflies will do flits a spinning of microscopic dust and moisture that freezes at the top of the atmosphere, and falls, gathering speed, wind and twist in mad tarantellas across the ocean while those humans on the east coast laze and watch weather and romance on the tube, stuffed in fat couches, snacks at hand and only by the god of NOAA do they finally understand that butterflies mean business.
