The Moth
















Notice the moth.
Its dark, shining eyes.
Its hairy, delicate legs.
Its fern-like antennae.
Its furred, dusty wings
Like the negative image
Of a butterfly’s wings.
It is nocturnal.
It finds its
Nourishment
In darkness.
Yet its desire
To seek light
Is so notorious
It is cliché.
It wants what
It cannot have
In safety.
It beats itself
Against the glass
Trying
To get out
To get in
To get somewhere.
We do not know-
Maybe to get out
Of this world.
