Sunday afternoon
naptime
re-reading Don't Let Me Be Lonely
in preparation for teaching this fall
butterfly swarmed my head
whispered wing motion in my ear
before landing on my shoulder
to extend proboscis
eat something I could not see
rested there for some time
turned and looked right at me
it only had one eye
this morning, taking out the trash
wolf spider perched
just at exit of white hornet nest
waiting
I am being told something
I cannot completely
understand...

Do you ever get the feeling something is watching you...?

in what kind of voice?

speaking with the eyes...

or...
