tachinidae
time-travel
back to the living room
back to when my beer was full
to parry the velvet
and glitter above
the air around us
full of carbon dioxide and carcinogens
and syntax
insects have it all figured out
flies have thousands of eyes
i only have two
i imagine my aura traveling up the living room curtains
all orange and flickering
how tachinid larvae eat their host from the inside
how emotions do the same

Grae, luv ~ :-*
You intrigue from the first moment of this poem and you never let up. In fact, tis a never-ending circuit you set up here, designed to endlessly circle around. Tis brilliant, indeed, luv, as are you. So skillfully and cleverly you write.
I am relentlessly impressed and compelled to read and re-read this poem. Tis an ensorcelling piece of work. :-*
