#1516 - how heedless of us they

 

1516

5.55

24.ii.24

how heedless of us they

for godsbother

 

but all about their business go

 

except to bite

and nothing personal in that

 

six legs, two wings, and more

in something unjointed, like time

 

tucked under day and cloud and storm

 

uncreated

undesigned

unintended too

 

for all that

brighter than before

 

think them tellings of the weather

 

each to a special knowledge –

how to

 

by trail foredoomed

or tangent of flight

 

will we say they nothing doubt?

 

when here’s the hesitation

 

hail fellow, well met

all twitch antennae

 

so like, unlike

 

as we

 

and they come to their stillness too

go to Earth

all do

 

splendid

unaware
