A split apple, worm infested on
the ground,
the grass around indifferent.
If it cared it didn’t show at
least.
Indifferent too, the piece of
mouse
the house cat left nearby.
Soon the flies will find
and feast on it like worms on apples.
Satisfied the flies will
fly. The worms will
squirm back to the ground
where they hide from human eyes
until more fruit is found.
