Arthropods are everywhere<\/em><\/address>\n
under our feet and in the air<\/address>\n
we are into May and a choral \u00a0ring<\/address>\n
its the beautiful music \u00a0that does bring<\/address>\n
a lilt to the heart \u00a0for \u00a0where magic rules
\na stillness \u00a0is locked between four walls<\/address>\n
\u00a0dress on, and off \u00a0I go today<\/span><\/address>\n
up the hill and on my way<\/address>\n
the common, \u00a0desolate and green<\/address>\n
and the bluest sky you have ever seen<\/address>\n
fresh leaves have that vibrancy
\nthat gloss that \u00a0colour and it be<\/address>\n
dancing in a coolish breeze<\/address>\n
and spangled light \u00a0between the trees<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
its sounds I hear this morning<\/address>\n
the insects I adore<\/address>\n
scratching, \u00a0chafing \u00a0scurrying<\/address>\n
there seems more and more<\/address>\n
woken up by the bright light<\/address>\n
and all its clarity<\/address>\n
the winged ones \u00a0are out early<\/address>\n
the wingless \u00a0I can see<\/address>\n
they all have little \u00a0voices<\/address>\n
of their own \u00a0it\u2019s clear<\/address>\n
there is substance at all levels<\/address>\n
deep rooted and ingrained<\/address>\n
to put into perspective<\/address>\n
That instinctively \u00a0they \u00a0have gained<\/address>\n
a foothold in the fabric<\/address>\n
of the treadmill that \u00a0we own<\/address>\n
the parables and \u00a0allegories<\/address>\n
and how my dress was sewn.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
goblins \u00a0work in \u00a0varied ways<\/address>\n
with what is innovation<\/address>\n
creative and inventive<\/address>\n
an uncopied \u00a0celebration<\/address>\n
Not \u00a0emulated anywhere<\/address>\n
the matrix and the mould<\/address>\n
a template from the stars above<\/address>\n
with harmony and gold\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0a homeopathic heaven<\/span><\/address>\n
fragments, tatters and shreds<\/address>\n
scarcely barely obvious<\/address>\n
the nodding of tiny heads<\/address>\n
and \u00a0getting down to their level<\/address>\n
of superiority<\/address>\n
what is \u00a0the symbiosis<\/address>\n
and Natural chemistry<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
a union of many<\/address>\n
a joined up world that \u00a0we<\/address>\n
with anatomical \u00a0features<\/address>\n
are orders \u00a0actually<\/address>\n
dragonflies and mayflies<\/address>\n
Wasps \u00a0of \u00a0course and Bee\u2019s<\/address>\n
under stress of the EMF<\/address>\n
Which really is \u00a0a tease<\/address>\n
\u00a0of suffering and mayhem<\/span><\/address>\n
it so affects their flight<\/address>\n
so many awful hazards<\/address>\n
at about the height<\/address>\n
of where they fly<\/address>\n
and laden with nectar<\/address>\n
as they strive<\/address>\n
to forage \u00a0in the gardens<\/address>\n
hoping to survive<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Flies and thrips and aphids<\/address>\n
ants \u00a0and Crickets too<\/address>\n
earwigs bugs and spring tails<\/address>\n
slender \u00a0insects who<\/address>\n
cone with chilling stories<\/address>\n
the earwig\u2019s wiggling tale<\/address>\n
so maligned \u00a0its pincers<\/address>\n
Really Never fail<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
to \u00a0upset human beings<\/address>\n
they have wings<\/address>\n
but rarely \u00a0fly<\/address>\n
some \u00a0though still are able<\/address>\n
to unpack their wings\u00a0<\/address>\n
which is why<\/address>\n
\u00a0many can\u2019t be bothered<\/span><\/address>\n
the palaver \u00a0just too much<\/address>\n
what they like are Dahlia flowers<\/address>\n
inverted flower pots touch<\/address>\n
a simple sensitivity<\/address>\n
its where we love to hide<\/address>\n
its true we \u00a0do look ominous<\/address>\n
but we are harmless \u00a0deep inside<\/address>\n
\u00a0we are also drawn to Columbines<\/span><\/address>\n
and love Apple trees where we<\/address>\n
like to sit between the bunches<\/address>\n
in the sun it\u2019s key<\/address>\n
in gardens the Chrsanthemums<\/address>\n
have a particular smell<\/address>\n
its a kind of aphrodisiac<\/address>\n
And it really \u00a0suits us well<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
chatting \u00a0to these \u00a0creatures<\/address>\n
is illuminating for they<\/address>\n
live about a year and a half<\/address>\n
which \u00a0seems short \u00a0but then they say<\/address>\n
sometimes \u00a0they live longer<\/address>\n
over wintering in the soil<\/address>\n
Or in a sheltered \u00a0human shed<\/span><\/address>\n
a protective foil<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
the ladies work their pincers off<\/address>\n
laying eggs about<\/address>\n
and then looking after them<\/address>\n
licking them \u00a0a shout<\/address>\n
to eliminate the \u00a0moulds<\/address>\n
and the bacteria around<\/address>\n
And when they hatch<\/address>\n
she licks them and feeds them<\/address>\n
On the ground ,alone<\/address>\n
a lot of dedication<\/address>\n
which I had never known<\/address>\n
\u00a0so many bugs\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
their hypodermic needle mouths<\/address>\n
do say<\/address>\n
piercing plants and sucking up their juices<\/address>\n
its no way<\/address>\n
it\u2019s really \u00a0quite exhausting<\/address>\n
And throats can feel quite sore<\/address>\n
wingless \u00a0generations<\/address>\n
not \u00a0always like before<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Bonding with the tinies<\/address>\n
one learns a great deal<\/address>\n
really this \u00a0is magic<\/address>\n
and what it does reveal<\/address>\n
is knowledge \u00a0at a level<\/address>\n
few humans have before<\/address>\n
realised or cared about<\/span><\/address>\n
of that I am really sure<\/address>\n
\u00a0tthe greenfly and the black fly<\/span><\/address>\n
their adherence to their cause<\/address>\n
they have to be tenacious\u00a0<\/address>\n
almost without pause<\/address>\n
Breeding \u00a0 Very \u00a0rapidly<\/address>\n
its a struggle so they say<\/address>\n
with very \u00a0thin transparent wings<\/address>\n
we exude a waxy \u00a0oil<\/address>\n
to prevent us being eaten<\/address>\n
whilst we \u00a0struggle and we toil<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
just 3 mm \u00a0it\u2019s the ladybirds we fear<\/address>\n
and of course the lace wings<\/address>\n
when they do appear<\/address>\n
Both \u00a0voracious feeders<\/address>\n
we have always been at war<\/address>\n
no let up for us miniatures<\/address>\n
a life we cannot ignore<\/address>\n
ae cause mechanical damage<\/address>\n
to plants that\u2019s what we do<\/address>\n
block the sap channels<\/address>\n
and weakening them it\u2019s true\u00a0<\/address>\n
Carrying \u00a0many viruses \u00a0<\/address>\n
we \u00a0infect where ere we go<\/address>\n
thats why what we are hated<\/address>\n
as of course you know<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
se have complex life histories<\/address>\n
everywhere we go<\/address>\n
we just love Viburnhams<\/address>\n
and lay \u00a0our eggs a lot<\/address>\n
and all our wingless babies<\/address>\n
help the plant to rot.<\/address>\n
so Gardeners\u2019 then are at our throats<\/address>\n
soapy water they<\/address>\n
also use the neem oil<\/address>\n
to make us go away<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
so many sorts of chemicals<\/address>\n
a catastrophe<\/address>\n
\u00a0coming at us every day<\/address>\n
its not a place for thee<\/address>\n
you best get off and go and see<\/address>\n
the butterflies and chat<\/address>\n
at least they get \u00a0a better attitude<\/address>\n
so it\u2019s safer where they are at<\/address>\n
butterflies are loved \u00a0I think<\/address>\n
though human beings they<\/address>\n
get confused by moths<\/address>\n
unsure of which is which<\/address>\n
a way<\/address>\n
of knowing<\/address>\n
and remembering is<\/address>\n
look<\/address>\n
at their antennae<\/address>\n
the butterfly has knobs at the ends<\/address>\n
And moth\u2019s \u00a0do not\u00a0<\/address>\n
A hook\u00a0<\/address>\n
hopefully to remember<\/address>\n
and just be aware
\nboth are after nectar<\/span><\/address>\n
And the sweetness \u00a0in the air\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Sometimes human children<\/address>\n
see them as fairies they<\/address>\n
have very pretty wings and fly<\/address>\n
scent is what drives butterflies<\/address>\n
Visual \u00a0attractions \u00a0too<\/address>\n
with scent glands on their pretty wings<\/address>\n
the unmated \u00a0know \u00a0and view<\/address>\n
and pair up in this instance<\/address>\n
its Nature once again<\/address>\n
so we circle around and around<\/address>\n
with everything to gain<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
so all you pretty \u00a0butterflies<\/address>\n
whats it like to be<\/address>\n
so obviously beautiful<\/address>\n
and in the sky so free<\/address>\n
a playful twist and turning<\/address>\n
dancing merrily<\/address>\n
ANd looking down on life itself<\/address>\n
a wild \u00a0abandoning<\/address>\n
