BUG EYES

By clocks the old time flies, selling an ant their wares.
Who idols the fool butterflies, and falls in a bumblebee tear, praying, praying mantis never hears.


By a glower of worms drinking moon beam,
I linger like mayflies dream, wishing you were here.
the spiders all cry to the woeful, ribbons of cricket bows, tied in threaded bows.

Centipede legs in scores around apples green to the core,
the flowers in orchard rows all longing for so much more -
gold sap bleeds where hungry beetles cleave.

The delicate wings of meadowhawks, as brilliant as ladybug hearts, shine on clothing lines.
On the lip of a can grasshoppers sit, chewing their happy bright grass.
Before the rains pass.

By clocks the old time flies, selling an ant their wares.
Who idols the fool butterflies, and falls in a bumblebee tear, praying, praying mantis never hears.
