Desperation

I.
In the sun room
a fly is stranded on its back
wings pressed against 
painted blue wood floors
tiny, string-like limbs
flailing at the air.

II.
In the sanctuary
a girl’s head gets light
feet glued against
maroon colored carpet
tiny hairs grow
across her limbs. 

III.
In the spirit
the christians walk by with smiles
up their faces
paying no attention;
the winged creatures
beneath them.
