stung (Free verse) by Limness
With my eyes closed, Tender and swollen at half a dose Only the lids were seared. I was not afraid to look But searching brought this fresh burnt blush That makes them look so blue-- and if you would only drown in them, this salt would surely lose its sting as I would do in you

Up the ladder: The beauty of a bird
Down the ladder: The futillity of charity.
