Death of a Moth - Dec. 14, 2024

I only know their night personality


erotic spirals of attraction

unfathomable desire for intimacy

a lover in heat over light


an Icarus who flew too close

and paid the price


when a moth perishes

what dies is passion


something this distracted

indifferent world

would hardly notice -


the thing it needs

the most
