The bats clustered together, two dozen. An ear
twitched, one rocked. Tiny, inverted, their bodies
all touching.

Six in a little crevice. Another cluster of twenty.
Three. Stunning.

I'm used to tricolors, little browns, big browns,
greater Rafinesques, all solitary sleepers.

I stared, imagined my own body a tiny pup cuddled
in a crowd asleep.
