BREATHING BEES BY OFEM UBI

BREATHING BEES BY OFEM UBI
February 9, 2017
Fiction

She is honey

Vicious sweet fluid produced from the nectar of God’s hands

Chased by bees as men who come buzzing in sounds of love both fiction and real

With proboscis as in-betweens dying to taste of their substance

And it’s sad enough that some honey’s are just too gullible

Too low to notice the sugar coated words as roofs resting on the fenced tongues of these bees

Some are just too fast to welcome these bees to their beehives

Only waking up to the late fact that these bees were never meant to stay

Dear Honey

How many bees have you let in?

How many bees have you let take away your icing

Make caricature of your heavenly blessings

For they have shredded you of everything

And all you’re left of is nothing but saltiness

Lock the cages of your beehives

Preserve the keys for these walking insects don’t deserve it

For you will know your rightful match when you see one

He will come knocking

As Christ knocks on the rusty heart of a sinner

And he will never leave for like a sparrow he has his eyes fixed on you like a like a civil servant does his salary

And do not be too fast to welcome him in like the others

For you both will lock the beehive till he pays homage to your antennae
