Mary’s poetry is like the best kept secret on Substack. It’s so damn good.

Isn't that the truth?

I'm still feeling delight by the shape of the butterfly wing embedded in top and bottom stanza's and that's before the words.

"So when the universe

tells you to write a butterfly poem, do it without delay, for

each of us is a fortune-speller, and it’s time now to conjure

impossible wings that have been sleeping sub rosa, a new being

that transcends imagination: the butterfly that comes only when called."

🦋🦋 🦋 Just love this - dense and light at once. Masterful.

I'm so touched! 🙏🏼

And happy that the wing-shapes registered... On a phone, they're lost.
