Bloodshot Beetle (an invented insect)

Armour

keeps you safe. Red

ommochromes make you throb

against the languid, green setting.

Arbour.

Circles.

Body shelter

that darkens in colour.

Bloodshot red as the green warms up.

Thermals

transfer.

The chemicals

in your shell are bitter.

They barely move and birds find them

Absurd.
