lyrics

The Guest (Jane Kenyon)

I had opened the draft on the stove
and my head was tending downward when
a portly housefly dropped on the page
in front of me. Confused by the woodstove’s
heat, the fly, waking ill-tempered, lay
on its back, flailing its legs and wings.

Then it lurched into the paper clips.
The morning passed, and I forgot about
my guest, except when the buzz rose
and quieted, rose and quieted—tires
spinning on ice, chain saw far away,
someone carrying on alone. . . .
