The Fly Savior...

Hullaballoo, I rushed down to the lake,
A savior.
I prepared a ship and said a little prayer,
For I was scared.
The sun shone and the lake flowed.
Sunflowers – sunflowers the flies die.

But today I will save as many flies as I can.
In each hand I carry a net - determined.

I throw them into the abyss
And try to draw in the flies
Before the smolts reach them
Where they combat the water.

And so the day passes.
Going onboard, I had begun fighting the stream
Which had already killed so many.

I can't breathe, getting heavier with every wave.
I need a miracle
Because I'm drowning sins.
I try to get aboard.

I pull ashore and salvage myself to the beach.
Dry myself on a hot rock.

I throw myself into the abyss
And try to draw in the flies
Before the smolts reach them
Where they combat the water.

Gustur, all soaked.
Frakkur senses the boat is out of the strongest current
And the land slowly approaches.

He is both aboard
Sea and land saving
The flies that die here.
Though especially himself.
Eternal war, peace nowhere.
Someone has to be sacrificed.
The days are long.
