the night is over, yet this moth
slumber tranced clings to the wall
yellows flecks unfailingly stayed
span two centimeters if so many
morning light streams through
is she warm cold or even she
mottled dusky wings refusing flight
to rest and mysteriously to disappear

Your description is beautifully expressed, Gillena. I could visualize the scene very clearly.
Wonderful poem. Yes, I love his mysterious moth !!
I enjoy the questions posed about the still creature. This morning a moth desperately sought exit from my foyer. How did she get there? I fed my cat. She was still on my return, so I scooped her up to an open door and watched her bees-line it free. There's one I won't collect dried from some deep pocket someday.
The place and time for a confused moth.. that as interesting, and I love how you describe the creature..
Day for night for moths. This one will soon seek a dark corner and then come out to dance at night for your delight.
