Honeycomb

Posted on July 14, 2018 by John Biscello
The deep bass drum
of laughter,
a resounding prayer,
no more forgetting
who I am,
the well of memory
has been stirred,
and my bones,
in turn,
have been dared to splinter,
the cracks between worlds,
widening, inviting me
to overdose on dusk,
and kiss the dew-slipped
faces
of all the fresh flowers
wilding
from my dawnstruck
whirl
and desire
to undress light,
one honeycombed shimmer
at a time.
