exposure

there are creatures that I admire
for their blatant way of searching for light

their grotesque bodies and protruding eyes
rough wings batting ferociously
a search for the source, the beckoning
glow that calls their names

though it will expose their ugliness
they run to it
it will expose their ugliness
and therefore their wild, shameless beauty 

unparalleled 

if only humans could be so blatantly
aggressive in their search 

severe in body and beautiful in purpose 

needless to say
I like moths
