Teeny tiny beetle
in your designer carapace.
Busy bodying,
up and down the flowerstems ,
harvesting, juice of aphid.
Teeny tiny beetle wings
a flutter,
launching tiny little you, homeward bound.
A speck of enameled beauty, contemptuous of the ground.
Up and away with you,
you miniscule marvel
of god's mayhem.

Teeny tiny beetle wings

launching tiny little you, homeward bound.
A speck of enameled beauty, contemptuous of the ground.
Up and away with you,
you miniscule marvel
