A short film by Nobody

 

 

 

flies flick

 

 

 winged whatevers

alight abruptly on my brow

 

I blink them off

 

 

they find a new cadaver heart

 

I decompose,

 

in silence

 

                                          the buzzing stops

 

WhatEver!

Strong metaphor J. Must be the time of year. Flies are just irritants. You need a good swatter. That will stop the buzzing. There were plenty of flies buzzing around yesterday. Not so today.
