Jump rat, door beetle, moth.
Light fingers hesitate
As the horned moons glisters on fangs.
A picture frame shadows around them.

  1. Seems like what he finds (“light fingers hesitate”) in his wallet: a receipt, the critters, and a threatening moon, perhaps all put into “a picture frame” of his imagination–“the hiding-place wallet.”
