and they are nothing
but Beautiful
wasps having sex
everyone knows
that they will only end up
both dead
one imbeding its venom
into the other
and dying
nothing but beautiful wasps
but so beautiful
that ticking of a clock
would never bring them away
from the glam and glitter
ice world they could make
sharp words
Beautiful muscles
in a mixing
lost love, but before its origin
following the words away
doesn't solve it
anymore
so Beautiful
wasps, sting
and loveleavehateragepainsting
the bright lights you wanted
blind you now
and  if i could hold your Beautiful
wasps, and findkeep a lover
who would trace my face
with his soft hands
prove to me that i'm real
because only blood is there
tonight
and nothing i see is here
because nobody is
all of the Beautiful Wasps
together alone, me
hold your head in my hands
fly away, stinger deep
in my flesh

          at least i got a piece of someone

~Hey there, I've read this many times and I think it's fantastic. There may have been moments that swerved the reading and train of thought and images, though I think this is why I liked it. Kind of off the wall ideas/images sewn into this deep and infecting feeling.
Opening with "and" _and_ with a lower case "a" kind of makes me wonder what came before this, what the beginning was, of what seems to be a second half to something. I don't know, overall though, I'm glad to have read it.

Some incredibly pleasing pieces,...

"they could make
sharp words
Beautiful muscles
in a mixing"

"and  if i could hold your Beautiful
wasps, and findkeep a lover
who would trace my face
with his soft hands
prove to me that i'm real
because only blood is there
tonight
and nothing i see is here
because nobody is
all of the Beautiful Wasps
together alone, me"

*Peace.
