At dverse tonight it’s time to celebrate our 6th anniversary ~ and we’re doing it with a Quadrille this time set by Grace and to include the word ‘flicker’ Here’s something that happened in town earlier this evening.
It’s a plague, of sorts.
The evening semi-thick with ants.
After months underground
they’re stupid with light and flight.
Lace-winged walking along footpaths
or bumbling through the air.
Black spots pock marking late
sun streams. Swifts flicker high
readying themselves
for an evening banquet.
