Moth

Adrift in the liberating, late light
of August, delicate, frivolous,
they make their way to my front porch
and flutter near the glassed-in bulb,
translucent as a thought suddenly
wondered aloud, illumining the air
that's thick with honeysuckle and dusk. - Jennifer O'Grady

Yesterday you found a giant, dying moth and carried it home...

"Why is it shaking?", you asked.

"It's trying to shake free of it's body", I replied.

"It's still now", he said, "it's soul just flew away...I think it waited for us because we are spiritual people".

so love, love, love.” - Hafiz
