sitting at a cafe's sidewalk table
sunday afternoon, black irish tea
and a chocolate chip cookie, late
summer sun palms the right side of
my face, my cheek.
traffic crawls past the median's
memorial for the fallen
girl who tried to cross
the too wide and impatient
street, anthology of
Italian women poets
lays open on my lap
as a tawny young butterfly
alights
upon its sunkissed page.
