That Buzz – Pamela Sackett

Honey bees in the bushes
grand central
vibrating the sound

flowers exuding
honey bees cruising
doing the deed
serving
heart-shaped leaves quivering in the breeze

why can’t we please find our way
like all of these creatures in time
all of these
honey bees sharing the nectar
drinking with ease

I stand, gape-jawed, watching
enthralled, seized
by this, their organization
carrying out the plan
collecting food
partaking, all of them partaking

by all, for all

no forsaking

I want honey bees to guide this nation
