“Ghost Bees”



Inside damned to Hell
The Man walks free

Outside he discovers
what monsters are waiting
to ingest his brain cells

Like bees bury their youth in wax
In the centre surrounded by worker words
sings the ancient Queen

Waiting for prodigy to banish her 
from broken rules, the new Bee claims her seat
Love’s throne and sceptre, 

Supersedure

Honeycomb in the open carcass
of a Lion’s split and pillaged ribs 
dripping tales of evil deeds done

He reaches in and scoops
out his bitter feast 
The Man in a Box 

Dead Man Walking
shuffles his feet home
down in a hole

Outside him 
life is moving
Inside him, life has ceased

Inside the box he is placed 
by the banished Queen
who has swallowed the key

Sinking to endless depths 
inside her ocean of salty tears
death and treasure boxes locked 

There lies lost time and 
unopened dreams
Inside damned to Hell

The Man in the Box 
Walks free, swarmed and stung
by all of her burning 

Ghost Bees
riddled and leering
in a book of judges

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)






“When, like the bee, tolling from every flower
The virtuous sweets,
Our thighs with wax, our mouths with honey pack’d,
We bring it to the hive, and, like the bees,
Are murd’red for our pains.”

"Down in a hole and I don't care if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave

Down in a hole and they've put all their stones in their place
I've eaten the Sun so my tongue
has been burned of the taste"





“Out of one who eats came something to eat; 
out of the strong came something sweet.”
