by Desmond Egan
exhausted from banging and buzzing
how bewildered he is
as he crawls is crawling
up the pane of light
beware of the web
poor small creature
thrown like us against things
so totally puzzling and yet
so simple
I will coax him resisting
onto a book
open the side panel let him
take wing straightway into
the wonderful outdoors
beyond the shiny ivy
may the like happen
to us of little faith
