The Girl with Fly’s Eyes

I am the eye of the fly, 750 hexagonal facets
bound together like staves in a barrel.
8,000 lens per eye, and 360-degree directions.
a nerve connecting every facet to the brain.

back through memories, diving into history and swirling
toward the future. timeless legacy flows among stars and galaxies.
celebrating all sentient beings, all things are phosphorescent and
shimmering. the octopus’s and chameleon’s kaleidoscopic colors,
complex communication, creative camouflage abide.

my simple dizzy, dancing, humming, melding
into oneness and song, keeping me awake, never to fear again
now that I have tasted oneness.
