Untitled #1


    The fly in our living room


    stays on the window


    facing west,


    watching a series of afternoons


    If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.turn to night.


    Its false-start ignition buzzing


    is louder than conversation,


    sharper than our strain of thought,


    stronger than the sound of traffic outside.


    The fly crawls upward,


    always toward the sky,


    away from the open pane


    below.
