Replying to a comment on:

The Stinging (Free verse) by Mona Lisa

I oiled in the slick of her. Tracing my hands where lips fell like jailed Casanova. I am naked as my journal quill eyed and silent, Incapable of joy. My body's a masterpiece of scratches and whispers that scream to be heard again. She sleeps in a steel wasp by a window seat next to honeyed skies, and I am left stinging In a silent satin hive. A wedding veil of sky will one day fall like we did, and we will dull stars, as we shine amongst lost worlds.

Do you really think that what wasps are doing in their hives is, um, stinging things? Other than that, nice.
