Beetle


I stepped on it
I did not see it
Yet felt it on the sole of feet
Eight tiny legs flailing
The antennas twitch with pain
Its iridescent eyes never blinking
The beetle faces its death with dignity

And my feet crushes its existence...

Poetry about poetry

Drifting through the woods
Echoing between the rocks
The light hits from behind
The air musty and warm
And poetry seeps through my skin
