a teaspoon full of honey
A breakup "nonet" love poem
Forage—work: unseen. Your iphone-eyes
cast “ludwig” on a rose— I grow
the earth— your dreams. A teaspoon
full of honey is my
gift; my legacy
is life. STOP! (When
you burn the
world, it
stings.)

Author's Note: I wanted to do a breakup nonet with an environmental twist to show the connection between bees and humans.
Each worker bee makes one teaspoon of honey in their lifetime - but more importantly, works to ensure the continuation of life on the planet via pollination. How could we not love them enough? (We don’t) 💔
Save the bees, please. If they go extinct, so will we. 🐝
