On Hiatus with a Praying Mantis

 

On hiatus with a praying mantis,

Lured by the Light, hands pressed in front of us,

A meal we seek: may mine be Glorified,

With snap and pop his falls electrified;

God’s creation, nothing superfluous.

Bygone,

Steamboat steam stacks

Tall topping old shore pines

Blowing through a chocolate bayou,

Bustling.
