especially when it’s mine

they swarm around the glass

tip toeing around the rim

suckling at the sugary

nectar

where my lips had touched

Then they get greedy

and drown

their corpses float below the foam

and I drink them

straight down

and I’m none the wiser

until I realise

where did the flies go?

It’s either that or they go for a much

tastier couple

or group

even though flies tend to

stay around

filth.
