periodical living

 

thirteen years below

waiting for the silent sign

dig, moult, sing, mate, die

 

(by paul manning)

june beetle

 

up from the darkness

bumbling fliers in the night

drums on the window

 

exuvia

 

a ghost of the past

memories of younger days

still poised on a twig

 

mayflies 3

 

wings unfold and dry

fragile signals of solstice

goodbye fish, I’m free

mayflies 2

 

fleeting life on land

triangle wings on brick wall

fly into summer
