drinking fountain I wait for the wasp to finish
—Rosa Clement
Issue 21.2 | 8 December 2021
Beautiful…
So many thoughts tumble through my head after reading this!
A huge human waits until a tiny creature has satisfied its need
The stereotypical reaction to a wasp: panic, kill, is contradicted
The benevolence of wasps, devouring the caterpillars on my vegetables
My allergy to wasp stings
The heat of a summer day
The scent of sun-warm stone…
I could go on!
Its a beautiful piece. Thank you for making it.
Interesting, these two very positive thoughts about an insect so much maligned. In the end, because all life forms are at risk, we, because we imagine ourselves to be dominant, do need to wait, think again and pay respects.
indeed! pay respects and learn!
A wonderful haiku. Issa would approve! :)
Deep meaning, light touch. A haiku to remember.
