Take me

Take me.

My laughter feels strange sometimes:
compassion and a little empathy,
acceptance and gratitude;

Like butterflies on my neck,
they drift in the dusk and crawl
into cracked, adobe walls.

I liked you best through the window.


(With thanks to Ubu, Dark Destiny, Butterflies 512, Amused Musings, Freaky Freaky 469 and Luigi thicket for your lines that I enjoyed enough on 2nd March to form this Cento)
