Meeting Eros On A Morning Outing

Two tawny butterflies

cavort between scarlet

bougainvillea and 
adolescent melaleuca, 

separate yet together

in such windswept joy.

Their winging wild foreplay

                      

                      creates delightful

                                 tangoed

                                          improvisation

in the scintillating sunshine

where attentive steps surprise,

are sacred and erotic.
