Look, a mistake —
a moth, caught
between window
and screen.
Another mistake:
from the bedroom,
faintly, a whisper
that might be sobbing.
There’s another mistake, and another;
in fact there may be evidence of
many others; but sitting here, I
don’t see much of that.
Soon enough that moth’s
going to die trapped
because I will not care
to raise the window to save it.
And whoever’s in the bedroom
crying? Screw her. If you know her,
you come correct her. Bring
me a snack while you’re at it.
