This Life with Bees
Bees see your face as a strange flower:
each eye a bloom. The darkness
pooling between parted lips,
holds something they would gather.
They measure the length of your collar bone,
the curve between each finger,
keep careful notes on your habits,
your growing. Outside of the apiary
nothing is ordinary. It’s more
than queen and colony.
It’s the investigation,
the taking.
