jerlyn eguia - was it their relative?

as i turn on the light
of the kitchen last night
two cockroaches
were caught in the
act of loafing
on the sink under
the used plate

instinctively i got
an insect spray
and killed both

i was happy until
a small cockroach
came out under
the blue glass
watching the two.
