Leftover from another world
like so much of nature seems today
this huge erect sap-green
caterpillar with fine
red and black stripes
on every knee-cap
turns out to be a horned
tobacco moth wearing
a worn houndstooth suit
a stylish undertaker
with a nightshade habit
on the side and though
he’s the one with wings
it turns out that
may not solve everything.
