Honey Bee Sermon

[ellajam]

Hi, Brownlie, this is fun.
S3, with both dreams and advice being off, stands out as weaker than the rest for me. A possible substitute for waking dreams might be dreams' debris.

The only thing I could think of that heart glued swords might mean is the bleeding heart, which fits the meter and may maintain your thought while being clearer.


Thanks for the read.

He’s brewing up some angel trumpet tea.
The alkaloids and water blur his sight,
And he expounds about the honey bee.

“They take their share but friends, we lick times three.
So, come you lustful Gods who burn too bright,
I’m brewing up some angel trumpet tea.”

Soon shadows dance around in waking dreams,
He stands atop a stump to give advice,
And he expounds about the honey bee.

“Let adders hiss their diatribes at me.
Let devil’s say you’re drinking manic light
he’s brewing up. Some angel trumpet tea

Will give us double eyes for prophecy.”
With cotton mouth he’s at his sermon’s height,
And he expounds. “About the honey bee,

Their flower licking lives are never free
From heart glued swords. So be with God tonight,
He’s brewing up some angel trumpet tea,
And he expounds about the honey bee.”
