Her Eyes Adored Him ~ Emma Rich

The Swing

He recited Éluard’s verse 
and she was air-borne;

allowing herself to be swung 

tilted, and balanced, mid-air. 

My pretty little sister 

adorned with limp blue butterflies 

who simpered, blushed 

shimmered, and swayed 

flitted over the edge, 

and into the risk of his love.
