I think of a Moth
I am flustered
I am fatigued 

Fast speaking women
I dance in the kitchen 

Im trying to say a lot of things at once 

Flustered in my dance

Simple admiration and lust for a light

Sitting in the bath 
For an hour or so 
When releasing the water Getting out mostly dry 

When the light has faded from day to night 

A dimly lit bath 

In the office 
Turned towards the wall 

Think about the dark
Not being able to see 

I am sitting in a dark room 

Hearing Sound
I think of a moth 
I am drawn to its dance and flutter 

The space to talk 
I wonder if a fast speaking woman is one that dances in the kitchen

Ready made answers entering my imagination 


Thoughts causing wobble

 
Entering you scorched your toes red 
The water staying hot 
You play with the pressure of it flowing down the plug hole 

Adjusted 

The glare of your phone screen 

Lights switching off for lack of movement 
The sunlight lamp glaring 



Not being able to be seen 

The glances 
Things become amiss
