I used to write forest fires into existence Some words roll off tongues and drip out of mouths like honey Well mine aren’t quite as sweet How could I speak of sweetness when there’s so many bee stings to endure And wounds To bandage up   Honey, I know my letters have stopped coming I just got tired of the burned fingertips and the blisters on my tongue You will hear from me if the spring ever does come   and I have only good and lovely things to speak of                                                             -m.g.
