My Midsummer Bees

Poetry

Image by Kelsey  Krajewski

                                 Even in the city                you’ll find flowers,

 

                  you tiny motor             of wings

           

                                        drunkenly               transporting

        heaping bundles

 

                            of dizzy plunder

 

                to scatter                    over gold-faceted hives,

     

        transformed into feasts

 

                               for tiny grubs                             brooding

 

             until we can touch                        the sky

 

                                                 and taste our own

 

                                    blooming.
