The night shivers out
Hymns upon lonely gray wings
They drift like a sigh

Monarchia Magicaria Andean Red Moth
Grapes slumbering; on..'
Leafs shading, yeast patina'ed fruit..
Sun-downers tonight..!
Grapes ripening on..'
Vine gripping seasoned trellis.
Purple skies..' ( thirst )
Grapes burgeoning on..'
frame groans; the labourers gains..'
Andean moth drinks..!

Silent moth, lonely
Spirit, your dark beauty screams
Trapped under cat’s paw.

Candle Moth
Candle Moth flies to
The light falls drunkingly down
Returns to the light
(The moth is bound to get way to hot but does the same thing over and over. That is the
way with some people that keep doing the same thing over and over and never learn from
their mistakes.)

Moth Haiku
A light soft flutter
Faithfully carried a moth
Intent on escape
Left the world behind
Through the light and to the moon
She flew quite softly
Flying by and by
Only to see what awaits
Across the night sky

Hi, butterfly,
Hi, mister moth,
I singed my wings,
Close to the
~~~flame?
You hate the light?
No, mister moth.
Love the light, but,
Sun is too
~~~far!
