WETA

WETA


I surprised you 

when I told you

I was terrified 

of wetas after the time

I discovered one 

under the flower pot. 

We laughed out loud

when I said it would 

be the most unpleasant

thing imaginable 

to find one 

tickling my feet at the 

bottom of the bed 

and I could never

pick one up

without thinking I had dislocated its leg.

You thought 

Wetas were cute 

I'd forgotten you

kept a pet tarantula

a rat called Tom 

and a python

in your bedroom

weirdo.


Avie.
