Promised Valentine

The butterfly lands on the prayer-flag
Slowly blowing back and forth
Catching its breath
With a few days left to live
What else does it have to do
It's a Saturday and I too
Am having my second coffee
And I admit it
My second cigarette
Blowing smoke
In the eyes of mortality
Which wouldn't be happening at all
If you were here
If you had kept your promise
Not to die
