Chasing Butterflies

skin shining, a combo of sunshine, coconut oil, salt and melatonin, shaping up for a swim after muddy Turkish coffee, golden eggs on bread dripping with olive oil

tonight Elvis will play at the local American bar’s birthday, unlikely I will crack open the laptop today, but I feel a new energy rising making me want to write more intimately and explore and accelerate this journey into the sun

the sea is rippling and the light dances above shades of blue and green, my two Albanian companions are chatting, highly animated, we made plans for fish soup and grilled crab on my rooftop this Thurs

more money in my pocket than expected after winning a bet in the restaurant last night about the last Jim Jarmusch film with an overly confident Ozzie, he ended up picking up the whole bill for our party

clouds shroud the mountain top as a white butterfly hugs the coast, the near-far perspective makes me smile, conversations mingle with the gentle lapping of the day’s tiny waves. Palms are swaying, old ladies and young girls climb the stairs to the cafe, disappear inside to order coffees which are consumed, the cups turned upside down for a specified time and then fortunes interpreted by the kindly, crinkly old lady who owns the establishment

day dreaming of sailing the wooden schooner which bobs in the bay, and a swallow darts and dives along the seawall chasing butterflies. The sky is so blue it makes the candy floss clouds glow, the rattle of china cups and the placing of glasses of water on the table are musical notes in a seaside symphony.

soaring today, like the seagull with outstretched wings climbing effortlessly into the air on the bay’s thermals.
