Slow crawl
'Slow crawl' by Trish Munn
A small green insect slow-crawls the keyboard,
a cumbersome climb on delete to home.
Wait…
It moves on for break,
and then pause
before travelling back to insert,
which he did, or she. Now lost forever
I’m afraid to continue
lest squashing an insect prolong my karma.
