swallowed a bug Archives

Jupiter and Venus
lay equally,
while the smiling full moon
cast her light
over the wind-rippled lake.

I commented,
as bubbles from marsh gases,
released from sand,
rose between my toes,
how this moment
was like some kind of giant
universal
cosmic
harmonic.

And then,
as if to make it complete,
I swallowed a bug.
