New grass spreads over flies in amber,
the drawn bows of limbs tensed ten million years
to push off an earth long spun away.
The exquisite detail of their silence
trapped in bubbles between once buzzing wings.
Above, new grass spreads to riot, die, and rot
and leave a seed to mark it's only trace.

A very Baltic atmosphere indeed! though not Baltic Sea inspired, I guess.
Death is sometimes aesthetic... well, at least for the observer...

Perfect little poem, as always, expressed with simple elegance.

Live and be well - H

The word exquisite appears in this poem and also describes it.
