Dropped Valentine

I crossed the room
just on time to watch
that fly's two hindlegs
as he lay on his back
kick death in the face
before death won all
morning it had been texting
me with its grinding buzz
but I wasn't in
I was a water feature
shaped like a guillotine
or a free-standing window
I crossed the world just
on time to watch you die
