"The Twins Trapped in Moonlight" by Bill Wolak
the walk
it was after she'd gone to bed and my net
would not swallow any more of the swarm,
night like a rotted tooth almost jostled free.
down by the water's mouth I waded in mud
and moths knocked against me for hours.
the hollow hammer of their wings, a longing.
how could they have known I was only a man
that there was no lantern under my skin.
