A Jar of Honey Would Give the Poem Away
instead
let’s ponder the idea stay silent
let the flowers of the fields
come into your vision
lavender thyme verbena
breathe in their scents let them
speak to your senses tease
your nostrils then have a jar
ready
go to the beehive
talk to the bees
praise their nectar
bees will fill your glass to the brim
place your jar on the window sill
let the sun
write the poem
