as I try to write something
she interrupts me to beg me to save the life
of an insect that desperately shakes its paws belly up.
I tell her that that bug is me
when I’m interrupted while I’m desperately trying to write something.
End of the poem.

(then I turned it over anyway but it
already seemed good that gone.
but I photographed it – alive.
both us live in half)
