the room

 
the wasp mines
a tunnel
thru livingroom air

an army of one
all territory known
and unknown

the enemy's
to land upon the postman's
gauche flowers

addressed to occupant
or owner
its yellowjacket jacket

of black and yellow
left-turns right-turns
trundles

to pause upon three ledges
hypodermic
of blue-white venom

in suspension
and balanced as any fancy
of mind:

will a patina
of platinum pollen
light
