Misery
Misery
The pane exacts a penalty
the fly does not see
he dances with misery
within his reflection

Poem Commentary
While taking a nap a fly buzzed into the room and to the window hoping to escape or dancing with it's reflection. I had to write about it when i woke to find it quiet and still on the sill.

- This poem seems to be a great description of "Karma". It exacts it's toll whether we are aware of it or not.

- Paolo, Never one to waste words, your little description of one of the most ordinary events, the passing of a fly, illustrates a much deeper principle... He didn't go quietly. He fought to get out. He struggled with death. I suppose, that's the most any of us could hope for. This piece reminds me of one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems: "I heard a fly buzz when I died".
