A PLACE TO REST

A tiny fly floated down

to his poem this morning.

He had made six lines of words,

and now this fly had found

a single word to settle on.

It was a noun,

nothing special,

just a soft single-syllable word,

but it gave the fly

a place to land and let

its muscles rest

in the midst of its excursion,

just like his poem

was doing.
