Innocently, they fly
bumping off of
windows and wood.
Minding their own business
so it seems.
Their spring business is real estate,
finding the perfect place to place
the nest,
hidden, but accessible.
You won’t notice them again until
they’ve taken up residence,
finding out when you get
stung.
The same goes for those
little,
creeping,
thoughts of self-doubt.
You don’t notice them until
they’ve taken up residence
in
your mind,
your vocabulary.
They make a nest
and
you get
stung.
Better to notice them when they appear
and
make your mind’s
real estate
unattractive for settlement.
