headless wasps

An indoor sway to lullabies

drunk and exhausted and dim

in glowing corners

harsh inhales and

lungs packed with headless wasps

who sting without discrimination

smug predator parasites scavenging for sweetness

blind and brooding

steal honey from your blood

with your head in your hands

your back against the wall

you let them in, you house them at will

they breed, they evolve

while you toe the line between a downfall and a hot shower
