Drowned Wasp
In chasing what we want we learn
too late our mistake
an ornate cask unable to hold
anything
a colourless town a dreary task
a heart of love run dry
the sky not blue enough your
kids move far from home
a wasp drowns in your afternoon
coffee
the oyster shell is broken & the
pearl flawed
Open your fist there is a balm
there is an open palm
