will u let me remember u for just a minute?
the small smile when ur teeth ached but u kept it in
let the honey pain drill through ur bones
digging for the oil that is ur blood
letting bees build honeycomb around ur heart
a beautiful matrix that would
disintegrate into paper pulp
when somebody punched it hard in the face
ur heart would spit teeth out and drop pennies
into the wishing well hoping for wasps
a locust swarm comes instead and u
close ur mouth and smile with teeth gaps
let the yellow angry drone in and watch it
from the x ray machine drilling holes
into the sugar aching marrow of ur bones
and u wouldn't spray insecticides because
ur loyalty lies with the sweet love only summer can bring.
