When relocating bugs
we advise cupping your free hand around them
as you would shield the first, delicate drag
from a freshly-lit cigarette.

Protect that tiny flame from the wind.
More midnight thoughts, inspired by a second cricket who decided that strolling across an intersection was a wise thing to do. It was too jumpy to hold, however, and I wished I could have saved it from the inevitable splat. Maybe it'll be lucky.
