Beetle

Updated: Jan 5, 2023
















At the meadow's edge,

where the brook falls

just enough to tumble

its peat brown to silver,

I watched a beetle

take the thoughts

of man in its stride;

like a cursor, its benign

trespass tapped about

the page in a way that

made the words I had

just read irrelevant,

and myself grateful

for its travel.
