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
