Isn’t it just terrible
when someone tells you something
so horrible that all you can say is
Oh.

And you don’t know what to do
but pass it on to others
the way bees do with pollen,
pollinating the world
with a grief.

But the world turns colors

like a weird side effect.

People hear

and open like flowers.
