DEATH OF A FLY

By Raymond Jones

ree

Held fast, I heard your wings creating a 

sea of quickening struggles,  

sad plaintive noises streaming horizontal 

across a silken orb and berries hanging 

in the pyracantha. 

Death's moving quick with desire, to 

mummify, bite, paralyze, liquefy the feckless.

 

After the pitiless bite, liquification,  

fly will taste good to her.
