The Moth Flew Into My Life

At the door knob

the moth appears pinned

and yet totally free


serene


honoring stillness


blended with the dusk


suspended in mid-tones

it pauses


until the street lights

hijack the town

looking paper-thin

compared to its sunlit

kaleidoscope of

solid and illusionary versions--


in this dimension of oxymorons--


my winged figurine steers me

to the unknown


as I open the door


in or out
