Outlasting Moths

A season
of antiquity,

the marrow
of a long
thigh bone-

life

gnawed thin
by large
grey moths...

see how light
continues
to stray

through each
worm-eaten
portal,

(the exact point
at which desire

enters and exits
the body)

survives
its journey

long after
roaring wings

of nocturnal
insects

have fallen
quiet.
