BUG'S POEM #1




Unbelievable event to a western mind
I tell the fly
Don't be afraid

I move my finger towards where he stands
Making a noise
My finger rubs

Forward
About an inch from him
Then closer

While asking him to move onto my finger
And he does so
Unbelievable

I slowly raise this hand to my face
Reminding him
I mean no harm

Motionless
He stays on my fingertip
For some time

I delicately bring him close to admire
His metallic case
Magnificent

He stays there as I move him around
After a while
He flies away

In his life span
An eternity he stayed
So I prayed a reminder
Then quickly wrote down
This bug poem
