Flutter

Rainbow hued butterfly tattoo on her chest
one she had done for their wedding anniversary,
capturing his pure spirit's beauty and faith that she loved so intently
always a defiant heart vowing to rise from worst calamity's cocoon,
nothing ever preventing him from touching the sun or his goals.

Standing over his grave too stunned to weep,
drunk driver able to clip his wings that no other enemy had done,
still refusing to believe death's cocoon could hold his soul,
breeze far too chilled, brushed her face, feeling icy kiss on her cheek,
his voice whispering, "I love you," tears of joy come, knowing he flutters again.
