Coyote Lake, CA

Bare threat on bare wall
shiny licorice gumdrop with poison fangs
Even the gnats avoid her
Bathroom breaks timed by a red hourglass

Buzzing cloud of non-biters
Almost an engine noise that lulls me to sleep
bats swooping in like jet planes
and all I can think of is flocking behavior algorithms

Butterflies don’t bite or sting, Brett
but their wings are very fragile
And they don’t like being left in a plastic egg overnight.
Caterpillar guts are green.

Long narrow lake stretches between wooded hills
no swimming allowed
waterskiers and fishermen OK
Carp carcasses above the high water mark
