Restive Poem by RIC BASTASA

Restive



that early morning
when the sun just comes up
from the mountain side
rising to
the cone top

a yellow butterfly as tiny
as my nail
flutters over a red rose petal
holding still
on a dew

slowing down
this small world where i live
becomes a home

my nerves rearrange their postures
resolving
an entanglement

now restive like a goat under
a sycamore tree
chewing grass
