Stingers Down

by

Crystal Dawn Allen

Darling Orchid, you reveal
your vulva without shame
Mine never knew the sunshine,
and never tasted rain.

It wore a mysterious veil
that could not be lifted without fear
'til someone came gently knocking
promising kisses, crosses, tears

All the petals bend and bow
to fingers that play piano keys
but shy away from stingers.
Do you fear men
as you'd fear bees?

Orchid, you remain
an innocent, a nude
who can lay stretched out upon the grass
and no one dares intrude

but the garden is atremble
when the bees come swarming round

(They have come to steal your honey
and they all land stingers down.)
