Winter is an unusual season for flies to move around but this one made safely to my room. Sadly enough it has not been with me for the last few days. I don´t know what happened to it. I´m worrying and feeling lonely since I share this room with nobdoy: No wife, no children, no friend. If I take this write to a local paper they think I am joking. But you know that I am serious. You have guts to look into the depth of ones concerns and feelings. That is why poets are different.

For nearly three weeks
I had a fly in my room
I didn´t take its life
Nor did I even harm it
Instead I welcomed it
And enjoyed its company
Like a friend from home

When your past is killed
And your history destroyed
Wouldn´t it sound logic
To claim a fly as a friend
A portrait of your identity
A museum piece To reconnect with

It is a normal thing to do,as so many who have had to go fhtough what you experienced do. Many people in prison also do the same. The shock of losing home, family, country, friend, is more than most of us know.I grieve with you my friend!

Love and peace,
Eileen

Abdi, it is not strange to have a fly as a friend. I had a big furry spider cognac-brown by the name of Virginia (I though it was a she, my vanity I guess, I had no friends either, in a foreing land and lonely) I understand what you felt those weeks, because she is gone, free, as I let Virginia the choice to take off, and one day she did.

Company of any kind can often truly soothe the soul. I once traveled for a living, and on a very long and lonely road trip, a most compassionate cat came calling at my hotel room, and I shall never forget that.

Abdi, how well you write of the feeling of loneliness...and how something as simple as a fly helped ease that pain.
