Chee Onn's Poem 1

The Butterfly

There is no story behind it.

It is split like a second.

It hinges around itself.

It has no future.

It is pinned down to no past.

It’s a pun on the present.

Its a little yellow butterfly.

It has taken these wretched hills

under its wings.

Just a pinch of yellow,

it opens before it closes

and it closes before it o

where is it?

– Arun Kolatkar.
