I Never Noticed Flies
I never noticed flies
have a pair of ancillary wings
that rest flush against their thorax
until 1 landed on my page
and I could see the details
of this little messenger of God
in the contrast between virgin white
and mottled black and its wings
shone translucent like
a gasoline drop rainbow.
I wonder what my shoulder blades
used to be and why there’s
a valley of skin whenever I stretch.
