Swiss Cheese

sculptors have been
in the pantry the cheese
all Swiss now

Winter Flies

cluster flies
buzz all day at the windows
no end of pane

this kindly breeze
blows mosquitoes from their goal
my life blood saved

maple bug crawling
on an arm of the sofa
a crab in the sand

cleaning her closet
the woman finds a moth
airing her linens

in bed with a fly
its constant buzz in my ear
saws at my patience

too friendly fly
wanders across sleeper’s brow
tangles threads of a dream

mosquitoes
letting my blood
make even more of you

cleaning her windows
the housewife finds a trapped moth
prisoner of war

your long legs tapping
across my computer screen
death-defying dance
