Hi, thanks for popping in!Here’s my next snippet, this time from my poem ‘Moth in the Bathroom’: Moths are pests in a bathroom – intrusive, clumsy, noisy with their madly flapping wings… but outside in the murky twilight, where all the night creatures are stirring, a moth can be a mysterious, haunting little wilderness wanderer.…
