Last night
there was a moth
in the bathroom
I encouraged it
to fly out
towards the atrium
where there was
more room to fly
nice plants
sunlight
during the day
maybe a chance to get out
Instead
the moth flew
into a gap
in the suspended ceiling
And I said
"You poor thing
You're going to die up there."
Later
in the atrium
I noticed
thick webs
around the lights
In the ceiling
the moth will starve
to death
and its body will rot
In the atrium
at least
a spider
could have been fed
