blue bottle fly, calliphora vomitoria
autumn fly, musca autumnalis
house fly, musca domestica
moth fly, psychodidae
no matter here
dual ways, cross roads
on a sparse wooden floor
where feet won’t tread lightly
in a dance, the winged messenger
stays stubborn until soft-prodded, stays
until the life lesson has been learned, finds
decay where there appears to be none on display
