Sweet Sweat
I am a candle that covers a sting
when I look in the mirror
and watch my wax melt
I see a bee
that buzzes in Honeysuckle
and Red Valerian –
healing is a bridge
between flowers and bees
I hum as I heal in a pollinator garden
the aroma of my sweat so sweet
rumbled honey and wax
soothes the sting of soreness
molds me into a light
