"Butterfly Christmastime" butterfly wings of gold with green sprinkles sugar-sweet pink antennae flutter stomach down swish, slosh strawberry milk nausea wash sunset             on my blue nose                   frosty toes and christmas lights shimmering from windows up high, technicolour stars down low ready to fall prickly air filled with pine the promise of snow that will not fall quiet memories, watching comedies with cats and friends and loose mice and I                     am quite loosing my dice {silly time of year.} -hb 11/26/00 back home
