Slide 1 text: "Names for Moths by Diem Okoye. 'and of course I cried for each long night she endured, / to the long hours a day broken with pain, / and for the red chair we sit upon a late autumn evening when the moths / return with their beautiful wings folded, / the ones I catch her watching in the way we all do, / that no amount of staring at their bodies can wholly convince us / that this is normal, that a living thing flying carries this kind of grief, / like the darkened sky had dropped shadows to eye level and given them motion'" Text on a blue background with yellow flowers.
