The Long-Armed Beetle Who Dances Alone

The CRIES of the ROADKILL, because of human CARELESSNESS, translated…

I was Draped, by the

Dimmed Colored Lamplight by the Side of the Road

My Thoracic Shone of that

Glow of Luminiscent Green

The Orangy Yellow Spots, Spread, All Across the Dark Brown Wings

Our Bodies, Huge, Strong, AND Fierce

With the Legs, Uniquely, Longer, than Our Bodies

We’re Named, as the Kings of All Beetles

In Order to Rise Above Everyone Else

We’d Once, Performed that CRAZY Dance

Underneath the Brightest of Lights

The Cars, Passed Us by

One by One, So Thoughtless

Inconsiderate of Us, Underneath Those Huge Wheels

Tonight

The Dimmed Out Lampposts Still

Stood, Above the Horizon with Some Humidity

And, We Can Only, Dance Out Those

Solos, with Our, Knife-Like Legs
