Summer in the deep woods

Ariel L. Johnson 2012 (Temple, Texas)

Free verse
On a hike in the summer deep woods
bugs, flying at my face, I knew they would
They buzz up my nose and they buzz in my ear. I swat them away, but it soon very clear.
That this is their home. This is their place. So while in the woods, I’ll just swat at my face.
