Happiness won't take turns -- edit 1

[Lizzie]

Revision 1

Time to contract, to burn lower.
Beat the heart slower.
Stimulated skin peels
—stomach sours—
as the bee recedes;
yet smiles remain unfurled,
heated and female,
amped and aching.

Original version

Time to contract, to burn lower. Beat the heart slower.
Its stimulated skin peels and its stomach sours.
The bee has pulled out but it's still unfurled,
heated and female, amped and aching.
