Standing at the crosswalk, I wait a sign to step out,
a bus passes in speed, instinctively, I look.
I see a moth in the wake of the vehicle,
spiraling down, spiraling up,
spinning, caught.
The light of the morning sun,
the energy of the flight, the work for stabilization
seems .fansatical. The moth
dips, dives, flips, flutters, raises skyward
My eyes follow the flight into a nearby tree.
I step into the road.
