They knew first
The flies knew
They always know
Flies buzzing around your eyes
.
Eventually
You can’t be fussed to brush away those flies
Not now, not ever again.
.
What’s been done has gone
What’s not will never be
The Time has come.
.
Carry me there, wash my face
Hold my hand, stroke my brow
Light of Life, leave me now.

“Flies buzzing around your eyes.” is taken from Idiot Wind by Bob Dylan.
