Poem-A-Day April 3: postcard from cape cod

postcard from cape cod

just now I saw
one yellow
butterfly
migrating
across buzzard’s bay
how brave I thought
or foolish
like sending
a poem
across months
of silence
and on such
delicate
wings


Today’s poem by Linda Pastan is for Dara — Happy Birthday, friend.

Love,
Ællen
