Home is a sanctuary
A safe place
A controlled environment
In which I can let go
Relax
Trust
A fly, uninvited buzzes in my living room
Unaware of the boundary breach,
It owns the place
Flying around, swirling, diving,
Landing on my knee
The violation
The irritation
The aggression
The murderous desire
A fly is stubborn
It refuses to move through the window
It likes the warmth of the kitchen
The sweetness of the counter
It rests on my screen
Doing acrobatics with its rear legs
Cleaning its wings
The multifaceted eyes
Scanning the environment
A marvel of engineering
Warming up in a ray of sun
