this is bat country!

The skies may be falling but the stars look good on you...



Sonnet of the Broken Bee

Your fingers remind me of the tall grass

that dances on the ceiling in the draft

just like thread and a needle made of brass.

And with a kiss that makes me softly laugh

our skin melts so mysteriously.

Your skin glows like coals - no, more like honey

I am buzzed as a bee flying freely.

You float easily and I fall briefly

Broken bee takes so spectacular dives.

I’m awfully available to you

in so many shapes when my heart just strives

through shadows and lips that I have kissed too.

Waiting for you to bring light here to me

because that’s the only way I can see.
