amanuensis

at my best I am no writer
but merely an amanuensis
scribbling down the words
as I see them in the air
seasonal butterflies
beautiful and all too brief
wishing I had shorthand
or a stenographer's skill
that I could catch them
as they flit past and pin them
to page as the collectors of old
to be marveled at in days to come
