THERE IS A MOTH IN THE BATHROOM

 

There is a moth in the bathroom

In the meadow you’ll find rabbits there

While the fox sits patiently in his lair

Welling up within her, a heat she had

Not felt before and may never feel again

Was everything as it appeared to seem

Or was it in fact just a vivid dream
