the bee sized girl

bzzzzz (she lives inside of me)

By EssiePublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

her world was the size of a teapot

a burrow of warmth

darkened and hidden

a place of safety and secrets

she lay cocooned in midnights softness

nocturnal as she was

the stars sung her name

the sky crusty with paint

the moon had a yellow face

with cherry coloured lips

mushrooms and leaves sheltered her

like a solar eclipse, only green as tea

frost couldn’t reach her there

the darkness curled round her den

it’s whiskers danced prettily

violets sung her name

the little girl, the size of a bee

i am nothing but a droplet in a sea

i am everything around me

you, the universe, me

hidden away

is where you'll find reality

not on the outside

inside my mind

is where i'll be tonight

a burrow of warmth

darkened and hidden

where the stars sing my name

where frost can't reach

i am an idea

i am made up

just a girl, the size of a bee
