a bee’s life

honeybees

magic hard working

wooly legs of pollen

hover, gather, curl up in petals—
hairy builders of beauty
transparent translucent perfection
of formed and framed
ultra-thin wings—
start to finish—
fully sustainable—
fully sustaining—
in cooperation and community—
plant life, animal life, human life—
a bee’s life.
