Neighbor from Marigold by Pinegrove

little insect upside down & trying
to right-side-up itself felt by my right foot tapping
squirming mechanism & it spins & tips vertical
but in my alien eye i can see he is beautiful

well i love my neighbor
i love his determined behavior
if it were me i probably
might have just stayed there

mid-sized opossum in front of my house dying
collided with a vehicle driving it out through the lightning
she falls down softly in the middle of the lane incoming
& it’s clearly incumbent on me to run out to her & do something
so i approach her there i’m suddenly squirming
& i'm scared & i'm tryna do right but i guess i desecrate everything

well i love my neighbor
i loved her courageous behavior
a ray now shines out of her mouth
& it points back to nature

morning gosling echoing wide around me
a v migrating down easy to a better climate
a startling shot rings out & now the geese are all screaming
the marksman's adrenaline's up as he stands up smiling

well i love my neighbor but
don't understand his behavior
i love that bird
but i don't ever want to take her
