look up

 over the papermill door
there was an odd shape
one who appears to be looking:
 reflection
expression
impression.
i wonder indeed what 
i seem to be 
to this one
who is hiding out
 camouflaged
by a window which
from my angle is
mirroring the suppertime sky,
and its angle 
the darkening yard.

  1. A lovely, self-reflective moth... or she's wondering if the pool reflecting the sky is drinkable.

  2. what a wonderful pattern on her back and such a deep, intense colour. has the neighbour's construction taken shape. I think it is a corral for giraffes-(does it have a plural?)

  8. I mostly use "she" in referring to creatures, unless I know for sure it is a "he", cause most everyone else used "he" even though there's a 50/50 chance of "she-ness"... its always bugged me.

  11. What a beautiful poetic way to describe a moth.. and what an unusual moth.. the textured wings are wonderful.

  15. When there is all this huff and puff going on around us in this human world of ours, how very lovely it is to see the world as it really is - ongoing, simple, natural.
