Bee stings –
Feel the pinch,
nerves twitch as
memory pierces skin

Pluck the stinger
buried in layers,
reach for the band aid
as you lick the wound

Beneath gauze blankets,
pretend you don’t feel –
that your muscles don’t ache
from resisting the urge
to swat the swarm

Faithfully,
you sit by the hive -
dripping salt from your wounds
and honey from your lips

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...

Sounds like it was worth it. The write was. Nice/enjoyed.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

"in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums"

Thanks, Eor! Funny you say that it is different, since I seem to be going through a transformation in terms of my poetic style. A lot different from my old stuff...we shall see where my muse takes me. Thanks again for your comments! And I just noticed we both have 190 posts, hee hee
