What Attracts the Flies by Derek Kohlbeck


When Death sends
Them to do his work.
they swarm
throughout the land, carrying
 and scattering  like living seeds
with wings.

I lie
twisted in a weedy woods.

Swamp lanterns
pushed up from hell, brings
them closer.


I don’t feel them land

Warmness digs.

Static vibration tickles my insides.


Prune skin slides off

a cream cheese mask

 Purging fluids

feed soil.
