No Land Of Mine

Elytra lifts
wings sprout
bye, ladybug.

A spot with spots in the sky, ladybug.

Minuscule mechanisms
inexplicable intricacy
the world spins this way.

Invisible from the corner office
cubicles in skyscrapers
motors and steel with wheels.

No respect for that which
must work around your madness.

You rule this land?
you kick up dust
not a must.

Fine before and after
dispensable
deflate.
