Cricket luck

Cricket in the house!
Good luck

blown in on cricket wings
up three stories into my lilies,
wilted in the five-day drought --

in at the window, hops
into the cool of my living room
with flurries of dust.

I've been away.
Home, I sweep
the littered pile.

Cricket air-borne,
black head a gleam,
wings shine, thighs pop
out of dimension.

Cricket in the house!
Good luck! Good health
chirps in a hidden seam.
