Swiss Intermezzo

I heard ten thousand flies buzz
in blooming Alpine meadow

inflorescences small and broad
smothered under hordes of black

raising their hobnobbing chorus
in summerfest celebration

not interested in me
relaxing in mid-hike

sprawled in this noisy midst
of unrestrained rejoicing

still humming that moment in my head
several decades later.
