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
