searching around the shed he exposes a large wasp nest,
covered in the bugs he froze to do whats best,
the wasps all look at him standing completely still,
enough all in one place to come sting and kill,
slowly he builds the courage to take a step back,
as they see him move and look as if they would attack,
still not moving from their nest as he takes another move,
trying to do it slow to keep his motion smooth,
all the wasps turn and continue to build,
as he relaxes a little from the emotions filled,
exhaling his breath that was held so long,
flowing over the nest alerting them to something wrong,
they fan out in all directions as he swings and runs,
with them stinging him with their poison stuns,
covered in bites all over his shirtless skin,
as the poisons circling his blood making his head spin,
the pain he feels leaves his mind as he fades to dream,
floating over the hills to imaging a calming stream,
later when he wakes puffed in a pile of mud,
feeling the poisons faded into his blood,
he goes back into the shed to look around,
seeing the nest is now broken on the ground,
the wasps have left and taken their young,
as he wonders what he experienced when stung.
