Relationships




 Relationships

            for Ishrat on her birthday –

 

Such comfort in the bee

who between the florets & petals

is seeking her sweet

gauzy drop of almost

honey.  Like she was

homed here.  Like the face of the sun

flower opened for just this

moment and the bee,

this bee,

heavy from her last

home – oh those pouches

of pollen – twin purses –

& isn’t the richness all the more

enjoyable because of the leaving

(the risk of wind and being

blown off course finally survived)

the pollen rising / \ falling

                       

                          \ /

                        rising

                        falling

in something like applause
