The FAB&PP Special Poem of the Month for November 2025
Saving Shirley
the butterfly
skips to
the other
side
of the fence
exploring
everything
that's
rested
needs
restarting
*
i listen to
myself
breathing
i watch the
october roses
bobbing in
the
wind
*
while
contemplating the
mysteries of
the
island
landings
*
pasting
things
together
cleaning
up the
notes
on my desk
*
he backs
away
with
practiced
thoughtless
gestures
