La Mariposa de Fierro by Christiane Williams-Vigil

One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now.La Mariposa de FierroChristiane Williams-VigilThe autumn leaves of American Beechflutter and cover her inquilt-like patches of many colors.To warm her through icy yearsand struggles of the 9 to 5.She sings not for those who are entangled in richesbut lullabies those who are suppressed,silenced,and overlooked.The ones who she wishes life willtreat them kind..Blessed is she who opens her heart,and pardons red-haired womenwho can’t help their siren-esque call.Out of a chrysalis of ash,her soul profound in its understanding ofphilanthropy and eternal love.She rises as an iron butterfly,armed with guitars and an endless stream of lyrics.And we will always love her.More from Christiane Williams-Vigil ↓@christyvigilwriter on InstagramYou can see her latest publications and workshops at her website: christianewilliams-vigil.comSupport + Stay Connected to OPOIf you’d like to support the show, Substack and Patreon members receive a copy of my book, For My Daughter, along with episodes from the audiobook.Feed yourself poetry every day.
