The Stick Insect Poem by Michael Galvin

The Stick Insect



I'm a vacancy for the wind -
a pocket for a feast, still and unmoved
in my sticks.

I do not contend with inquisitive skin,

nor do I declare
possession of the air,
fixed in obedience,

disappearing here.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A very thin spider sitting in its web and the canny place it had strung it made me think about the natural state a person might be in to make themselves receptive to nourishment from the divine.
