Reminds me of the Jethro Tull tune called Moths (from Heavy Horses album):
The leaded window opened
to move the dancing candle flame
And the first Moths of summer
suicidal came.
And a new breeze chattered
in its May-bud tenderness —
Sending water-lillies sailing
as she turned to get undressed.
And the long night awakened
and we soared on powdered wings —
Circling our tomorrows
in the wary month of Spring.
Chasing shadows slipping
in a magic lantern slide —
Creatures of the candle
on a night-light-ride.
Dipping and weaving — flutter
through the golden needle’s eye
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking
on a Spring-tide high.
Life’s too long (as the Lemming said)
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
And we’ll all burn together as the wick grows higher —
before the candle’s dead.
The leaded window opened
to move the dancing candle flame.
And the first moths of summer
suicidal came
to join in the worship
of the light that never dies
in a moment’s reflection
of two moths spinning in her eyes.
The Argyle Sweater presents a surreal, hilarious (and sometimes punny) look at the world you think you know. Armed with a willingness to explore every edge of the surreal, Scott Hilburn’s creation presents his sharply unique take on history, everyday life and the truly absurd.

I would think talking to Pete Moth would be like trying have a conversation with a clump of dirt…

Apparently Jessie is also an acceptable spelling for a boy’s name. See http://www.babynamer.com/jessie

Pete’s cast is going to catch on fire if he’s not careful.

Oh, my eyesight is getting bad! I didn’t get that they were moths until I read the other comments!

mama9cats don’t feel bad, I overlooked their wings, too. I was trying to figure out what they are supposed to be, so thanks to digitalfrog I now know.
