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.
