The Fly Freer

Hullaballoo, I rushed down to the lake

A saviour

I prepared a ship and said a little prayer,

for I was scared

The sun shown and the lake flowed

Sunflowers, sunflowers the flies die



But today I will save as many flies as I can

in each hand I carry a net - determined



I throw them into the abyss and try

to draw in the flies before

the smolts reach them where

they combat the water



And so the day passes

Going onboard, I had begun fighting the stream which

had already killed so many



I can't breathe and I'm getting heavier with every wave

I need a miracle

because I'm drowning in sins

I try to get onboard



I pull ashore and salvage myself to the beach

Dry myself on a hot rock



I throw them into the abyss and try

to draw in the flies before

the smolts reach them where

they combat the water



Guster, all soaked

Frakkur senses the boat is out on the strongest current

and the land slowly approaches



He is both aboard

sea and land saving

the flies that die here

through especially himself

Eternal war and peace nowhere

Someone has to be sacrificed

The days are long
