the mind
with its secrets
white matter, brown matter
wired in power and connections
a breath
one minute here, another there
losing the sense and space
fluttering wings
fading

Colleen’s prompt this week is to write a Cinquain or a variation of it. I’ve chosen my favourite form, the Butterfly cinquain (a nine-line syllabic titled form with the pattern 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2).
