If I spoke or wrote
A note that set the Universe on fire
Would you notice?
Would you sit up and disclose
To those placed around your goodness
“My goodness! The Universe is on fire”?
Or is it too small a gesture
To get your attention
To get your blessing to proceed as I was
Before the view of you arrested me
Suspended me in honey
Until I swam past where you sat
And walked home covered in bees
