sisters have tattoos of butterflies
lining their hips and backs
i would rather have a butterfly
walk across my skin
feel their tiny feet and feelers
reaching out to explore
what is the body
that happens to house my soul
while i admire the body
that happens to house theirs

He, he I liked the thought of a mutual admiration society existing between a human and a butterfly!!
Nice one!!
