Hornets

Hornets

 I will love you fiercely, 

I promise this with my yellow and black body, jagged and whole

My eyes will break the world apart

And put it back together again

I will make us a home with dust and spit and hope

And we will love it

All our friends and sweethearts will share in this vision,

And when they finally come to take us out,

Call us pests and spray their poison down the hallways of our home:

We will aim for their heads.
