Like the honeybee
furious in its task
I would rip the abdomen
devour the essence of life, my own
run through
that which stands in my way

Of timeless flight
and flutterings
mid-air lovemaking
of heartbeats measured in wingspan
and anguished thrustings

I now
the honeycomb
sweetened in your haste
bathe in the efforts of your force
and fall from the sky
Bee again

Yellow then black, yellow then black
as sweet as nectar
as ripe as spring

Two roads diverge in a yellow wood,

One looks well trod and worn

The other, scorned but good

But sadly I note, they both uphill go

So I say hell no, I’m going home.

Philosophy is for fools.
