Luna moths flutter in the captive night light of early December, strong, determined to mate their way to the electric crackle (invisible as a secret trapped in the soul) emitting from the machine in the eaves.
Their disintegration illuminates the dark with ultraviolet pulses and heavy musk drifting to mouthless, abandoned mates, antennae feeling their starvation, extinction, the end of all their brief cycle of lust.
The creatures in rockers spend the night brushing the remnants of their death off their cheeks, cuffs and hair— absorbed in their dark loneliness, avoiding conversation with each other,
The widows miles away feel the tug of a mouth and mandible forming, a dream of a shout and tear evolving, the rock, rock, rocking waves telling them that they soon will feast on these creatures clothes.
Note;
Luna Moths have no mouths and thus cannot eat. They exist for only a week, being born to mainly mate or die of starvation.
