Summer Ghost

Summer Ghost


A moth upon the window screen,
Mistakes for the moon my lamp to glean,
  until a Ghost - flash – white and bright,
Plucks him away to the formless night

Soon too next a June bug appears,
Who proceeds to buzz loud in my ears,
  ‘til Ex Nihilo from the black night air,
A ghost claw takes him far from here

And so marks time through night’s routine,
I reading books, they on my screen,
  ‘til Quick - they’re gone – they knew no dread,
Until blue morning scatters light

  And time for bats (and I) to bed
