when all the bees no longer roar
life drowns in blue-green

looking for an...

“Go BANG!”



"Is that a gun in your pocket?"

and pulled out the memory file
about being a child
with my family for

Dangerous, violent, aggressive the storm;
Stuck out in the cold, seeking out somewhere warm.
I've drug my two feet through the rock and the mud;

Maybe I'm a talker
