Horse Fly

There is a fly.
There is a horse
The fly will die.
The horse will, too.

There is a chance
The horse dies first.
Flies wait for this.
They buzz like prayer.

There are short odds
One fly can last
To eat dead horse
And leave fly eggs.

But fly wings sing.
The horse tail swings.
Sun’s on the grass.
Stars burn all night.
