Long Houseflies Poems

NO THROWING OF STONES:

Let it be your culture,my pals...
To not throw stones if you live in a glass house;

life is a mystery

sky is clear

Like there was a party six feet below
The earth where anosmic maggots
Were tamed by steep fragrance

He is dead, he is dead
Of what use is a tinseling treasure
To the naively rich sands?

In scratchy swales emitting Clorox gas,
Matador houseflies cross paralyzed eyes;
A kaleidoscope scene where jagged glass
Cracks beneath footsteps of love’s promised lies;

Forgotten by choice through hell-flickered sight,

where patches of green grass show.

houseflies eat cat food, dog poop....
slurp coffee, cough, spit  


These past three summers have been awful for houseflies and blowflies coming inside my home every time a door is opened. I use fly...
