Monologue of a Fly’s Shadow
—after Eduardo Corral
My master flies and alights, flies
and alights, and I yoyo,
constantly dragged to the next.
When my master lands on a meal,
fleshy half-spoiled fruit or the rotting
meat of death, I am solidly in it,
covered in muck, unable
to fly. When the rains come,
I disappear with the light, unable
to get clean. One day, a hand will
land and my master will become covered in me.
