Milk Butterflies
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
She had a wantant fluttering in her eye
It was not greed, it was not try.
The moment her heart opened she started to cry.
Then she was taught to drink and love so high.
Happened to wave her arms like a dove sigh.
Then she turned to glance the sky on her arm.
Wantently flutteringly she wanted to fly without harm.
