Out of place – v2

Color mismatch

Movement out of place

A short, broke yew,

Late in summer

Dark green,

Leather skin

Shiny, alien

Broken branches

Dull brown

Ripe red fruit

Drinking in the sun

Bent to crush one

between finger and thumb

As a child, Goosh

Blood, juice

A praying mantis

dayglow green,

Hiding poorly

in the branches,

Rears its body

to my intrusion

Study each other

What threat am I

To those eyes,

Leave him be

Scared enough

No camera anyway

Alien head

Tokyo dream

Lobster mandibles

Kangaroo arms

Seemingly poised

ready to punch
