Butter in her eyes

The butterflies sought butter
in her eyes, her glowing skin
had been kissed by the sun,
bees brought her nectar
like their queen
though she was like a flower
drawing nature in.
She was spotted by ladybirds
who flew about her hair,
spiders spun for her,
webs of hair and eyelashes
fuzzy down n her skin.
Birds sang in her ears,
melodies and calls, music
followed in her wake
wherever she walked.
The pollen clustered
round her like a halo
in the air. The butterflies
sought butter
in her eyes
