What are you pollinating?
What is pollinating you?
She asks, sitting on the back
of her patience,
considering the compartmentalization
of her hives.
Are you doing the work.
She suggests, as a statement.
The yields will be sweet,
she prophetizes.
The work of creation
smells like a honey hive.
Tell secrets to the bees,
she says, and their music
will resonate in your bones.
