The Fly
by George Anderson
Imagine in your dreams
fumbling towards
a four metre high sandstone sculpture
of a common house fly-
with wings outstretched/ layered
in the traditional style
of Pacific Coast totem figures
dead to the world wild around it

Look up-
examine more intricately
the stone golden artifice
as it enfolds before your imagination

See its membranous wings
take shape/ translucent
see them lifting the insect free
from its puparium of  mortal  strivings- above the stench of everyday humanity
