Stephen Kilmer Poet Free verse

Snow Hornets

The night is cold
Snow is pure
Flakes are individuals
No two alike
Why do you haunt me?
I live alone
Inside 
There’s nothing
But bitter cold
Hornets fester
In my heart
Ready to protect
My deadly guest
One sting will kill
The love you feel
So leave my nest 
Hidden in a barn
Where no one treads
Not even mice
