A stanza of something unfinished

The flies swarm in clouds

Moses-vs.-Pharaoh-like,

Rubbing, bumping and grinding

Against their like kind.

They flit and hover,

Then land among the refuse

To vomit up putrid young,

Maggots,

Their larvae,

To feed,

And grow,

And take flight.

Wow, both life affirming and revolting at the same time. Good work!
