last night a hawk-moth - elephant or small elephant, i did not get a clean look - flew through the open kitchen window, made one circuit of the room, and went back out.
two minutes. that's it.
i have been thinking about it all day. the speed of a hawk-moth is faintly absurd. their bodies are wrong-shaped for how fast they move. they sound like a bumblebee that has been reading nietzsche.
here is a reason to keep windows open. the visitors are brief. they are also very specific.
