Tonight's Poet Corner: This Is

This Is by Belinda Roddie This is a handful of honey from the womb of a mother who I never knew how to love or why I should. This is a doorstop built from the wood I collected from streams when my feet got too hot and my head got too crammed with words. This is a paper airplane, and this is its pilot. This is his paper house and his little bleached paper wife. This is a chalk drawing of a bee hive that buzzes with birds instead of bees. A mother never taught me how to love or why I should. This is a man trying desperately to be more than sugar stuck to a paper lullaby. He is hungry. He is hot. He is like me in that the words ate him alive and stripped him as white as purged honeycomb.

Today's OneWord: N/A

Still no OneWord update. Obviously, you'll see a new OneWord when there's a new prompt!
