No matter how long between trips to the cabin, we always find dead bugs and/or mice on the premises. This oldie says it all.
Captured
A spider belly-up in the water pitcher.
A horsefly garroted in a skylight web.
A chipmunk snookered by a mousetrap
guarding the garage.
A smattering of Asian beetles like currents
dotting the floor.
Two hornets commiserating after attempts
to dissolve a pane of glass.
But a crush of frogs caught "in flagrante delicto"
croak delight in a springtime rite.
The workaday carnage of critters
and the blues of daily news disappear.
