Termites by Piera Chen

After the frenzied flutter of their nuptial flight,
Termites land on my bathroom floor.
The double wings now slicked back
Trail on the tiles
Like a monarch’s train.

Dionesia from the Bicol Region of the Philippines
Cries: Pieces!
Ma’am, I found three pieces!

Like chocolate or music.
