THE HEAVEN OF BEES

Their dance there denotes nothing
of geometry, angle, distance, sunlight, flower,

though sometimes it might recall to one or another
one sweet apple blossom, a certain patch of clover.

The spirals, wiggles, twists and turns are nothing
but dance, made possible by a lifetime's practice

gathering nectar, bearing it across
blank pages of sky, and telling each other.
