Bug Junction: Four Poems

I cannot look you in the eye.
Segmented multitudes, reflect
no ego spreads through antennae
sensitive bristle foot pad hair.

                                                                                                               HUNTER'S MOON

Skin I, hair I, plates
turn against one another
white glutinous pivot.
Where do you touch me?

                                                                                                               BEAVER MOON

We meet, moments, hairs out,
align along my pelt.
Then we part. Velcro hairs tug
hooks under my skin, raise a bruise.

                                                                                                               WOLF MOON

sleep weaves melatonin waves
red blood, white blood, pulse, pulse
older insects hum a thousand
dark eyes in our dream.

                                                                                                               BUCK MOON
