'ello Mr. Moth


We exist.
Life persists.
And light travels.

The planet heaves.

Moths hang around
attracted to the light
and the life of the night.

Shaam ke parvane,
they troop in,
gather their selves, and pop out.

You can see them doing the Salsa at times.

They leave behind their visiting cards:
pairs of wings you can almost see through.
