A Composition of Moths:
From Two Pictures, One Poem


"I suppose it would have been more appropriate to place the luna [moth] with the moon, but the color harmonies of the concept overcame my logic." ~Glenn



Ambitious,
this polyphemus.
Thick-bodied and brown
he yearns towards the elusive--
a distant crescent

and dreams of being

                            graceful-green

                    enchanted

                             Actias luna

his ethereal cousin--

silvered eyes blind
to the complexion of his own wings
of umber, ochre, and amber,
as they carry him
skyward.
