Things You Shouldn't Do by Margot and The Nuclear So And So's

motive

i understand now

how

the moth flickers
toward

the light  like a thief
he

waves his hands

in front of it
with vigor and relief   i

have done the same today  i

feel ruthless

every now (when)

i find   that things are separating
ending the way they
used to be,
turning off    i

flicker
toward any chance i have and
(any love)

like there used to be.

i wave my hands
in front of it.    i

hope you will see me,
i, the moth,

looking for my light...
