Description
The wasps built a nest in the eave above my windowa busy, humming abode of paper and venom
and I felt intrusion, my space - my house - my comfort
where are the chemicals
long sticks, daggers, shovels
Thick denim to swat them away as they...
as they..
protected themselves.
Watching them create millimeter and millimeter of mudpaper
I let them
be
and tried to sense what note they hummed and buzzed
because they were doing what they do
and it formed
a shape
and a music
and the wasps danced their dance
and played a tune I could not know
But at least I listened.
And I think I'm better for it.
