i found you grieving in the grass
the sky bled water colored blue
you seemed so simple sure and sad
so i sat down to grieve with you
you raised your hand to shield your eyes
i shifted left to block the sun
you crossed your legs and cleared your throat
i waited for your words to come
but they slept soundly in your chest
they never made it past your tongue
so we sat silently and still
and thought about things we’d done
and all the people that we’d loved
and all the people that we’d wronged
i watched the years flash through your face
and i locked my anger in my lungs
so every breath stung more and more
a wave of whips across my spine
a billion bees trapped in my chest
nails on a chalkboard every time
’til i watched your fingers sneak towards mine
i heard your breath go thin and short
i tucked your hair behind you ears
and i watched your eyes dart back and forth
and i sucked your lip and bit your neck
the trees were shaking at their roots
my angry arms felt cool and calm
and my cotton mouth was wet with you
so we lay glowing in the grass
to watch the sun swap with the moon
to trade our future for our past
the present tense was all we knew
This is a really really old one from the very beginning of the summer.
But it’s bringing back good memories 🙂
Question by kelly: Does anyone know where or how I can get info on raising bee’s for honey? For starters, where do I get bee’s?
Anyone know of any company names to do bee keeping or where I could research? And, where to buy the bee’s and products.
Feel free to answer in the comment section below
Get in touch with your county agent. Try also local 4H contacts. They can give you all this information and more.

Try searching the web for the following sites: Dadant or Mann Lake or Bushy Mountain. You can purchase bees as a “package” which usually includes about 10,000 bees and a queen – enough to start a hive. For more info look for local bee associations/organizations… try a web search or yellow pages . A good bee magazine with ads and info is called Bee Culture.
