To you, a mild irritation
To me— a crisis
Feather and leather
The hurricane and the bee sting
The tale of the bee's knees follows on from other fables that represent our ignorance of the vulnerable and the damned; the fields are scorched; clay has turned to concrete has morphed into steel; warn the children to stay away from the scaffolding, it may look like a playground but it's a really a minefield
end of the prologue, onto the first chapter
Oh, dirty speck
Move unto thee
Droplet on cloth
The will dampened
Raised heavily above head
Yet cotton soft, pliable
Crueller than suicide
A less than human choice
