Bee! I’m expecting you!
Was saying Yesterday
To Somebody you know
That you were due—

The Frogs got Home last Week—
Are settled, and at work—
Birds, mostly back—
The Clover warm and thick—

You’ll get my Letter by
The seventeenth; Reply
Or better, be with me—
Yours, Fly.

Why life are you so cruel?
Find a girl you like?
Nope, she's probably moving.
Or find a boy you like?
He's probably moving too.
Study hard for a test?
Nope, you'll get a B.
Learning a new language?
You'll never be fluent.
Got a lot of homework to do?
You'll procrastinate till 12.
Practice hard for something?
You'll do average.
Going some place amazing?
You'll forget the camera.
Why life, must you be so cruel to me?

I found hell sliding down
The slight curve of your flawless porcelain back,
Embedded discreetly in electric spinal cord buzzing.
And yet... Your eyes moistened with
Glittering pools of heaven.
The reports say I drowned...
But I know your back cracked,
Hell scrambled out...
Breaking my neck
And crushing my ribcage
In a swift enchanting dance.
