Pesky Critter!


oh, that pesky critter
leaving invisible footprints
across the top of my water bottle top
erased from my memory
by salty peanut’s thirst
I thrust the bottle
to my mouth
and began to quench

abruptly
pulling it about
sickening in my stomach
dread attempting to annihilate
my hope of survival
from the tainted tracks
of the flyful rival

Yuck!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(sigh) Ugggghhhh, I don't want to get any more descriptive but one time I stepped into a gas station in Colby, Kansas and many of the drinks there in the service area had lids left open and some of the bottles had bugs floating in the beverages! Oh my gosh! I'm sorry you faced this experience, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
