moth
kerry mother and i walking in sandals to the bathrooms
towels under our arms
bags of toothbrushes and soap
we passed by irish setters and campfires and glowing cigarettes, murmurs and dark tents and excited conversation.

the ground is black
we cannot see where we are stepping and it is a tentative kind of walk
like when you cannot see the stairs you are trying to climb

stumbled upon the bathroom
the screen door shut,
huge and beautiful moths, white and black speckled wings, i stare with my mouth open
she jerks the door open and they flutter away
