mayflies

one
of
these
things
is
not
like
your
brother
,
who
was
never
born
but
might
have
grown
to
be
an
enemy
or
an
ally.
there
isn't
always
so
much
distance
between
the
two
.
your
eyes
talk
to
tell
you
what
you're
seeing
:
a
long
, fibrous wire
of
tendons
and
twine
,
with
the
body
it
guides
somewhere
out
of
sight
.
your
eyes
are
liars
.
this
is
no
rat's tail.
it's
the
first
mayfly
the
year
has
seen
fit
to
send
you
,
one
month
late
and
minutes
removed
from
dying
.
