1274

eaten alive

for Carol Archer

things bit me

and I won’t name names

I walked into the book

or was it the one creature

sun shone a scone top

sneezed with the wind

I stood out for the shade

and things bit me

everyone had a piece of me

they won’t know who they are

cliffwardly up a flutterby beats

antennae directed to steer

and while I was watching

other ones winged

it was beautiful

how they bit me

so much nemesis

I had the hubris part

no hiding in summer

cast accusations

mountain of me

all skin and bitten

I must have stood still too long

and having rested, digested

some bit me again for a souvenir

or else they’d got the hang

I know that you are just

itching to say

every insect wants to know

will I come back as one of them?

or will I be

eaten alive

?
