Flies

Flies by the time we have

Day and night fly alike for you

for I the smile rot

and pain takes root

Flies to skies as you dream

I have been told

Run after what your heart calls

I have been told

What if my heart desire its demise?

I have not been told

Flies swarm around my body

They’re attracted to the aroma

I can’t swish them away anymore

Flies and drives to my funeral

They feel guilt and grief

I am not calling them anymore
