Poems
Aug 2018
The Present Moment Is A Trivial Thing
earful of mosquito buzz
disturbs reverie
a wave of the hand
brings silence
then
the quick sting
and slap to the neck
tiny mangled body
wings twitching
a drop of blood
trickles down palm's
lifeline crease
wiped on pant leg
forgotten
until
it swells
and itches
as we scratch
with nibbled fingernails
whispering curses
