trio
raze
i
watched
them
work
in
concert
—
three
hungry
flies
feasting
on
the
hot
black
mess
of
something
i
couldn't
name
, swallowing
death
so
they
could
keep
themselves
alive
a
little
longer
.
each
one
a
different
colour
.
a
fierce biter,
a
common
green
bottle
,
and
a
buffalo gnat.
whatever
their
breakfast
was
,
they
made
short
work
of
it
,
leaving
behind
a
faint
stain
that
could
have
passed
for
the
damage
done
by
a
clump
of
wet
soil
if
i
didn't
know
better
.
i
can
only
hope
the
winged
thing
that's
eating
me
is
as
thorough
and
willing
to
clean
up
after
itself
as
those
three
were
.
