curiously acquiescent

Moths On the Window Pane
...MOTHS ON THE WINDOW PANE
Like abandoned waifs
Their faces at the window pane:
Big eyes and flapless wings

Staring into my life

The Suspect

Sat quietly in court.
His face was frozen in a frown;

from my vagrant star,

the fires of design
to lift me from
