I would like to thank my mom and dad

Beetle Shell

 

green and blue

pale skin absorbing midnight air small webs, built and made with care

 

bruises that shine a purple blue sea small antennas, delicate and sharp orange and yellow firm wispy wood

 

legs that hang across embedded wood hands that sit in misty darkness

skin delicate to the touch

 

air that tastes old and worn land that stands beyond its time a wisp of air which carries hope

 

a sun that peeks beyond a tired trunk

a quiet land covered in swaying swirls of grass

a sun that covers the abundant valley of life
