There is a tick, I'm told,
small as a seed, its back
hard as a turtle's shell,
blind, they say, and lives
for years immobile
on the tip of a twig, until
sensing, they don't know how,
it makes an arc in the air
leaping a distance farther
than the moon may be for us
to land by the side of its mate.
It does this once, they say.
