Big Bugs on a Small Screen
A scurrying worker
screams
blood splatters
a cigarette
burns.
“That’s one big ant.”
countdown
“to absolute
termination”
bio-hazard barrels
roll
To a Cockroach
Who are you, little one?
A god?
Shameful?
Unwilling to die
when your time has come?
Who says insects
aren’t favored?
Christ walked on water
just like a mosquito.
Dracula’s Ecology
We need to sleep
in native soil
hallowed earth
placed in wooden boxes
but then hardly a foot
of dirt
has not been enriched
by blood
men and women
torn from their land
eco-trauma
The dilemma of a vampire.
