Yellow Jacket


Yellow Jacket

He sat on the dashboard, in
the sun tidying up, stroking
the long antennae
as if combing them into place.
Nothing menacing but
looking at the sturdy striped body with
the undisclosed stinger was enough to
remind me of the danger of small
quiet things;  those blended thoughts,
packed full of their unexpected power
until someone leans into them.
