BROTHER BLUEBOTTLE
BROTHER BLUEBOTTLE
A bluebottle emerges
from a hedge
like an expensive and
repulsive flying jewel.
It settles upon
my ring finger.
I wear it with
fear and delight.
Its iridescence
bewitches.
This, the first
bluebottle I'd ever seen.
I thought they grew
in hedges.
I had a lot to learn.
It buzzes about
in my brain
as if 50 years
had not passed.
Welcome back
brother bluebottle.
It's good to see you
still alive.
