a sonnet

a sonnet

a cockroach is climbing up
the outer wall of the building
aiming for my open kitchen
window 
when reaching the window
sill, I pushed back down
it landed on a flower bed
I sensed its resolve, no doubt
it will try again
when I'm frying fish  and 
open the widow for the smell
it will make a move
