why?

calm
after the storm

gates thrown open
to insects
flying about
bumping into
the street lamp
monsoon rain droplets
illuminated by
mute white
as they rest
serene
on hanging wires
telephone
electric
various
and many

the scene outside
my window
is frozen
exhausted
unable to move
any more
no more

brightness
facing me
hurts eyes
and is reduced
a little bug
blown off
as it tracks
new paths
new life

mollycoddling

and melancholy
