Yesterday I was scrolling through posts on the (fairly) new social media platform Bluesky when I came across a haiku written by Frank J. Tassone:

deep twilight 
the wish to sleep like
a wallaby

When I see a haiku on social media I like to try to reply with a haiku of my own, and so:

      a drowsy blowfly –
 reading your evening haiku
      in the afternoon

Why a blowfly? Well, up until a couple of weeks ago I hadn’t seen a fly since last summer. Now, if I leave the back door open, one, or several, immediately fly in.
