slow the flowers,
so i may see them longer
[from my perch].
i love you, having dipped them in honey.
the winter butterflies unwind
twisted twirly straws, suckling
[as the man below]
suckles for your sweet syrup,
my lovely fern [of ninevah],
cascading down tree stems.
remember me, your worm.
i, softer than the butterflies.

This is very abstract and provoking at the same time. A symbiotic, relationship between two different organisms. The bird and worm one gave a peculiar feeling to this all- a sort of surreal, yet strangely natural feeling.

It's very beautiful, slightly abstract, makes the reader's mind think, to put pictures in their head. I enjoyed this poem very much.
