Winged Messenger
gazing prophets with discipline
shed heroic tears as they
salt the sublime puzzle pieces
with patience - they are held
trapped, and rapt in their silence of
repeated rote prayers humbled in
knowing that one of their number
will be infected before the dawn’s rising,
then in the briefest of blind moments
the death of night comes stealing -
a message of limits dictated by the gods
delivered by the bite of a single fly...

I once spent a week in hospital after 'the bite of a single fly'... That was a real 'message of limits'...
ReplyDeletecool... the death of night comes stealing... I like it, and the image of the prophets.... and a deadly fly... hope it doesn't get them all!
ReplyDeletegreat the way the words conjure up stuff.
God and the gods use strange messengers at times, so why not a fly? I mean, better a fly than an alligator or some other ravenous beast!

Yikes! Watch out for the single fly! Conjured up indeed = Nice.
