62. MOTH

you annoyance,
brief,
because after a moment's anger
I reflect on the justice
       of your presumption,
       the dignity of your proclamation,
as you enter your last wild dance,
dervish,
moments before you die thrashing
in the cauldron of desire
around the light bulb.

Amazon e-book page Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC). PS: I wrote most of these poems (except the title poem, October Leaf) as a teenager, so I published them under the pseudonym A. T. Nager.
