Moths Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Moths



Their wings vibrate
like a dentist’s drill.

They come late
in the huge night and fill

our dreams with inscrutable
stares. They snug

into their shadows
which hug
them
like carnivorous flowers.

You don’t see them feed.
Yet they grow.

Nor bleed.

When crushed
they leave a slur of dust.
