BROWN MOTH

Light worshiper, fellow 
obsessive, 
indentured servant 

of the moon—
how like its surface 
is your chevron body: 

color of the unnoticed, striped 
with the mute button,
dirtied with dust—

your alien eyes 
are consumed 
with the burning 

reflections of grayed fires 
which must look
as enduring

as your mania  
seems stymied by windows 
to us.
