Look up, my son, and thrill to the sight
of geese in formation, flying south
Just make sure your lips are shut tight,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth

Clean and minty
Plump pink or receding
Capped, implanted, or real
A whistle through gaps
Metal brackets and stretchy rubber bands
Drool on a white cotton pillow case in the dead of night
Twitchy lies and storied gossip, save,
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.
at nightfall flamboyant
nomad fortune tellers
midst their migration
in colours and flair
romani gypsies gathered
outside their caravan
around a bonfire ablaze
they’d play their fiddles
guitars and cimbalom
singing in unwonted dialects
dancing under moonlight
beneath a dome of stars
in legendary brazen flurry
freedom tossed to the wind

Who is going to tell her we asked each other,
Your sister, your aunt, married to your brother.
Tell her in a nice way we cautioned the loser,
Sandra glared at us, the worst straw chooser.
She sat and stared but did not talk at all.
Supposed to tell her today, not next fall.
We knew this could quickly go south,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth…

He loved his motorcycle, riding all day
When he rode it, all she could do was pray
He knew she was frightened by the machine
Yet he knew she was on the fence between
Finally, she agreed to take a ride on his bike
Although her talking told him what she was like
He knew she’d regret the ride as he turned south,
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth

I stuck a needle in my eye- I cried,
the soldier stuck a sword, in my heart nearly died.
Our fencing duo, our battle stride,
Each step I countered I led in pride.
I stuck a needle in my eye- I'm blind.
Falling to the ground wounded I bled,
I died where I lay.
dismembered decayed Private 1st Class Daniel Ostrogoth,
dead frozen…"For a fly does not enter a closed mouth".
