Beetles, a Screen Door; Summer

Radiating black masses
over black, purple bleak
skies,
the moon on their backs
undefined

they danced,
oddly shaped
seemingly uncontrolled
I watched ignored,

Raised a bottle to my lips
sipping,
I squinted at them
hard,

What did they want?
what wisdom? Grief? Praise?

the moon
compassionate
a solemn face,
failing to comprehend,

and the dancing shapes
and the hapless man,

are
no
better
for
it.
