A Fly

On the wall

Looking so small

Unassuming

Crawling 

Sensing my presence

A formidable menace

I must truly be

Utterly ghastly

A nearing threat

Already set

To fly away

A tantalizing prey

Well within reach

Daring my outreach

Anticipating every move

Any changing groove

Or whispering crosswind

Will send him downwind

Wanting to be left alone

And free to roam.
