Nature's Disco

Love from above.
That's what it seems like,
as the huge wings 
propel the body
of a Sphinx moth into my head.
It bounces off, fluttering in the night air.
Curious as to what lies behind me,
it migrates to the glowing orb,
nestled high above my head.
It joins the "june bugs"
in the nightly mating ritual
as it powers its way against the radiating heat.
It fornicates with the hot glass,
communicates in a rhythmic dance with the light.
Crickets sing the chorus
while the moth dances back and forth,
as I gaze upon nature's disco
from my rocking chair on the front porch.
