Sting

(With audio in the voice of the author)

To R. C., thanks for the memories...

Undeserved treason

stinging like a stabwound

goes deep spreading poison

inside the bleeding flank

when the sting of the stinger

inoculating the venom

was thought to be

surrounded

by honey

until yesterday.
