For Diana and the Bees

by Meghan Helmich

You fell in love with her words,
and you smeared honey
over each line
as if the verses were a hive,
cracked and opened with hungry fingers

Don't get me wrong,
many stones hang from her window
and color the walls. I stare at them without blinking
until the tears come,
until you come
to me.

I like the title. I like the whole damn thing.

I like the title (I don't like having a period in it, but that's just how I am), but I wonder if it would be better as "For the Bees". Hmm.

Enchanting and charming. Your title drew me in and your words kept me here. Wowza!
