sculptors have been
in the pantry the cheese
all Swiss now
pests
Winter Flies
cluster flies
buzz all day at the windows
no end of pane
Praise of Wind
this kindly breeze
blows mosquitoes from their goal
my life blood saved
Maple Bug
maple bug crawling
on an arm of the sofa
a crab in the sand
Spring cleaning
cleaning her closet
the woman finds a moth
airing her linens
Rest-less
in bed with a fly
its constant buzz in my ear
saws at my patience
Buzz Off!
too friendly fly
wanders across sleeper’s brow
tangles threads of a dream
Mosquitoes
mosquitoes
letting my blood
make even more of you
Prisoner of War
cleaning her windows
the housewife finds a trapped moth
prisoner of war
Box Elder Beetle
your long legs tapping
across my computer screen
death-defying dance
