After She Heard the Fly Buzz -- When She Died
"The romanticist is generally characterized by a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature --
at times an appreciation so deepened it hits bone."
-- a Realist of an appreciation rather reserved
* * *
The window being open wide at twilight in the spring,
a scent of rotting meat with yet a fruity undertone
a fly had full enticed to land upon a signet ring
and eat the flesh decaying round a little finger's bone.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
not telling the Truth
slant
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
Nature's cordiality
march, 2023 -- yet hosts untold of maggots
crapulous on the cordial of countless corpses and carcasses
