Kit Kelen #427 - the cockroaches arrive

427

the cockroaches arrive

it's a new island

and they took their time

but at last the cockroaches have arrived

the mosquitoes were here from the word go

it's fair to say they preceded the island

even if only in transit

did they come by coracle?

in the boxes with the groceries?

some even say they flew

now the cockroaches have arrived

we should hang out bunting

they make a place homely

their apparent silence suggesting

how deaf we really are

those mosquitoes were just a few words in the ear

the dream was still in the dreaming then

now we're waiting for the rats
