Butterflies fly free!

Published in The Dryland Fish, An Anthology of Contemporary Iowa Poets, 2003, within 13 Ways to Write Haiku: A Poet’s Dozen.
Written around 25 years later, In the Parkview Cave, seems relevant here.

See this later post: Japanese culture: poetic aesthetics, artistry, and martial arts, inspired me to write haiku and tanka.
