Victory
A housefly has made its way
to the dining room:
Buzzing, perching, provoking.
The assailant's arm is heavy but unstable.
The sound of a slapped slipper,
for there is no broom,
echoes on the wood of the table.
The fly remains:
Buzzing, perching, provoking.
Another echo, this time more able.
Victory is a dark smudge on a golden placemat.

There once was, one of many others, a Jeweler, the epitome of my wants. He gifted: rare rubies and diamonds. I paid dearly, for this Jeweler was sought after by many others. He gifted: garnets and gold I paid dearly, for this Jeweler was sought after by a new buyer He gifted: the spare silver chains I paid dearly, for this Jeweler was sought after by that same buyer He gifted: naught I paid dearly, for this Jeweler was sought after no more. The new buyer had him chained to her, like the adornments He had gifted to me. I left, after blessing the Jeweler, once the epitome of my wants. What did I lack That the new buyer Did not? The Jeweler's true affections While I paid dearly, To her, he gifted: The most precious pearls For he was the epitome of my wants But she was the frequenter of his thoughts
