The moth
There tied to that tree
Is the moth
Dangling like a frock
The cats nearby
are questioning it's very existence
That serpent, does pry with it's naked eye
One of these days,I know
The moth will find its home
amidst the fireflies
In a fire burning to ash somewhere...
in the wild
In the wild valleys of saddening cries!
