Cockroach

The antennae twitch in the air

Reaching out for
invisible meaning in the emptiness

The waves of air apprising about
friend,
foe
lover

Distance
height of obstacle
clear as daylight

200 million years of experience

coursing through

Six hairy legs and 18 knees

Speed through the night

Shred apart the light

For some soothing crevice in the dark.
