It\u2019s winter and
\nThere are bees in you.
\nThey push their way out of
\nThe corners of your mouth
\nWhen you grin, a driven mass.<\/p>\n

Bees in your eyes, they crawl
\nOut of your ears like slow honey.
\nTheir bristle legs are sticky
\nFrom the things between your teeth.
\nAnd me:<\/p>\n

My ice hands on
\nYour humming cheeks
\nOnly makes them angry.
\nWhen I blow to warm you,
\nAnd my hands, the bees
\nScatter.<\/p>\n

You try to catch them then,
\nYou leave me.
\nI wait for my hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
