Description

i said
i feel like i should
put this all in a jar
and bury it in the backyard
but i would only
roll in the flowers
that grew up in the spot

tuesday
those flowers spilled
from my mouth
washed out lillies falling
to the ground
and from them
golden bees circled and buzzed

i told
you everything
and before we could stop
it was too late
and wings of your own
lifted you away
and i wanted to come
but mine wouldn’t budge
covered as they were
in honey

there’s no making
any sense
of this
