Sides Coincide

Slotted abruptly into a concept
Bold intimation begs he correspond
Gypsy psyche brown moth becomes windswept
Attempt to bracket him or wander on

Waiting with pattern disrupted, fear tinged
On crops offering fluffy promises
Closing chapter rips lustre from bronze wings
Field generosity astonishes

Cotton airborne released from spindly twigs
Soul exfoliated floats borderless
White flight blank wanting absorbs all of his
Virgin shirks burden of choice, subordinate

Soft vessel travels to land's bitter edge
In salt soak Pacific, brief life extends

So enjoyed reading the mating dance of species - gypsy moths 'windswept' + other creatures of "bronze wings." The final 2 lines are encouraging - species survival. Overall, your postings, Sigrid, encourage multiple, rewarding reads. Be well. Brian
