Social Valentine

These butterflies are our neighbors
but I don’t mean the social kind
though they are social at times
like today when we remember
the dead but not the war
that changed the world
even though they don’t understand
the butterflies come back
as the dead grandma said
their wings actually stretch
far out into the starry darkness
hidden behind the peaceful sky
but we can’t see that yet
though once we did
and still as children may
