i know an old lady who swallowed a fly perhaps she’ll die
yesterday whilst being crucified by yet another gorypoem
a fly flew into my nose i know you will never look at me
in the same way tuffnuts
but that is what happened hard to pretend when a filagreed
wing protrudes iridescent +torn said fly did not emerge for
48 hrs. okay enough with the flies to shit jokes bros
so was this fly giving me bubonic? or comforting the other
creatures trapped within me including my 1st husband
who among you has not eaten a living thing or 2?
flowers ants e.coli pieces of a throbbing heart you broke bitch
i swear that fly visited my soulhole +reached nasal-nirvana
pre being ripped away a buzzin + a shrieking🪰
what exactly did he find during his body-cavity search? hair
the scent of sausage-debris nostalgia galore scent of mother
dogs a horse sex +death of course
also the scent of floral bath beads mother used to entice me with
dirt smudged burrs in hair faintly-fecal wildgirl ravine-pirate
hated bathing hence a poetic bro’s refrain: you just stink a little bit (oh so funny)
that exotic beadfume continues to envelope me especially on graveyard
visits when mother wafts up it is always Spring inside my nose (my name
in several languages) + that’s no place for a rotting fly named Harman🪰
