The Commonplace Death of the Moth, by Elen Lewis

 

I know the unknown

hinge and flex of wing

lurching into flight.

 

All we cannot see.

 

Gloomth darkens shade

over gauze-stretched sky,

our moon-lit, night-scent thrum.

 

It is always dusk.

 

That turn

this edge

half light

slow shadow

 

snagging time

 

falling

            into flames

 

Enough.

 

I do not know how

to stop trembling,

life flickers by too fast.

 

Show me how to leave.
