spiral around each other
with spastic gravity.

in stillness,
the mantis becomes
vegetation.
The Ladybug of my childhood had polka-dots of black, adorning the split red shell that covered its wings and back. So, who erased this bug's black dots to make it less dice-like, making it a Lady in red? Said thief can take a hike. I had so many fine questions, but it just flew away. Maybe a bug somewhere out there has more spots coming its way.

a hive of wasps,
each one frenetic:
do they never rest?

this Evening Brown
is well-named; it’s sluggish
in the morning.
