On a Patio In Central Pennsylvania
On a Patio in Central Pennsylvania
Slowly patiently silently
a stink bug descends
toward my white-haired woman.
She is undeterred
by the imminent intrusion
of this small spot
of Nature’s alien creep.
From where?
Maybe Nature or the bug man
at the nearby college might know.
My wife knits on
Slowly patiently silently
making chemo caps
for women
seeking remission
from Nature’s alien creep.
From where?
Maybe a (loving?) god might know.
