archetype

#1

care-taker

embrace persons

too big for me to shoulder

they drop off my shoulder

and crash on the ground

broken.

I forget.

They are responsible for their happiness.

I am responsible for Jeanne’s.

And her health too.

I find home

and settle in for self-care

and its sister:

trust in God!

Tail to Tail

Crawl to cross;
creepy crude
critters crash ‘n
crunch on crib,
craving each other:

crane flies

All rights.

My friend Joy Acey adds to the research:
I went to Wiki and found this: Numerous other common names have been applied to the crane fly, many of them more or less regional, including mosquito hawk, mosquito eater (or skeeter eater), gallinipper, may fly (or mayfly)[2] gollywhopper and whapper.[2]
So they are the same thing.
