The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for November 2012


odious flies
late october
sun on the
south wall
     [they
     inhabit
     the stones]

through the
cracks
transforming
the picture
window into
a nursery

buzzing and
hanging
around waiting
to die
anyway

despite that
building
annoyance
impatience
     [two
     more weekends
     tops]

harbringers of
the end of things
their glistening
carcasses on the
floor

hard frost can't
come soon
enough
