lover i gotta hold on to you, to hold on to me

Maybe,

I could spread a thousand constellations on the ceiling of your palms

--dig them honeysuckle deep into my ridges;

& to be blind to the oncoming melodies, when the blue and black bees come singing

i will sweep the petals under my eyes and blink them,

shuttered shut.

& we will still remain, intertwined:

fingerstems of you in my skin

will those cluster bees follow me

bleed their ink into my serenity
