Aphids on the Underside

Delicacy to the ladybug

The aphids hide from her

Underside the leaf, underneath her

Feel the vibrations of her walking above

Wonder briefly about if boy ladybugs exist

And as if the thought alerted her

She lowers herself to their level

The Aphids on the Underside

Feel the vibrations of her walking alongside them

Briefly, the delicate aphids are on her level

A wondrous thought of community, of not being alone

Ladybug on the underside

The Aphids on the Underside were never there

The Aphids on the Upside

Delicate company to the ladybug

The aphids hide from her

Upside the leaf, over her

Feel the vibrations of them walking above

Wonder briefly if they care about if boy ladybugs exist

And the thought alerted her

She raises herself to their level

The Aphids

Feel her feasting

Wondrously, briefly - as if they were never there
