flutter

i like things
that flutter in the breeze
flags on a tall tall pole
wind socks
and Tibetan prayers
Mexican scissored
squares of paper
aspen leaves
whether green or gold.
i like the triangles of foil
strung above car sales lots
and lowering sails
on great tall ships
monarch butterflies
rise and fall
coasting on an autumn norther
but most pleasing of all
are memories of wandering
through my family's
sheets and shorts
and pillow slips
wee socks
and tee shirts
as i hung them on the line
sweet damp and cool
under the hot dry sky
