There’s no structural similarity between a caterpillar and a butterfly. Still, thousands of times a day, one becomes the other. Because this is a true fact,
we here have faith in transformation.
This song is for Regina.
Mother of Amy, Kelly and Holly.
She liked to sing Crystal Gayle songs in the kitchen.
She collected milk glass.
She was a good: rollerskater, sport, cook and woman of God.
Now she’s a butterfly.
1951-2018

lyrics
Look at you looking at me
Up above your spirit
You were out of your body
I was digging around in your neck
For a pulse
For a sign
You were mine for a time
You were my first home
Then you were free
I got stuck
I held you inside too long
I should have known you were gone
Staring down that hall
At the white sheet and learning
In my way I should have known
You couldn’t leave if I forgot to let go
Please forgive me
Detroit Mourning
Take warning
Take something darlin’
But it’s all good
You’ll go when you should
Oh you know she became a butterfly
