“strange to say” by Savannah Jane Williams

Stay 

a minute 

longer let’s 

talk 

about 

the bees 

and 

how it 

feels to 

know 

someone I 

could make 

coffee 

the way I

know you’d 

like it (too 

bitter) 

the acid of

it will eat 

away at 

our flesh 

while I 

show you

the

staircase

that winds

up to

no-

thing 

it was 

where I

went 

pretending

to be

alone
