Tiny Moth
You crept in,
through the kitchen window
as I sat in a chair working away.
Darting past my eyes I could only see a blur
and you looked nothing of your dark splendour.
Floating
mostly falling
barely keeping float on wind.
Tired wings half fighting fall
but embracing touchdown relief.
The window's open
but I won't force you out
there is a quiet refuge here for you.
Looking back at my work and burning eyes
tiny moth I know what weight can keep wings moving.
