through the darkness there is light

Class Insecta

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Maggie Mae

Graves,
lunar sleep keeps well,
well-wishers dwell.

Carcass swell,
full flesh wanes soft,
quick frost defrosts.

Then,
Class Insecta. Blind
bite, night gnaw-
ing on wet lawn
string through
perky juvenile floor,

thick cover over
six-square deep sleep.

They eat.
