Go Bee Go

Summer near the end A bee on the 9th floor balcony Overlooking Bleecker Street The bee still Not 100% Its mandibles move Exhausted I get sugar water Pour it before its head I bend over Its tongue feeds on the sweet nectar__ C'mon little bee Get up On your legs Summer isn't over yet Neither are you__ A minute later The bee stops eating Stops moving C'mon little bee Rise Fly Buzz__ Nothing I pray Not to any god To eternity This bee has lived forever The last two months Same as me__ I go inside Come back out The bee gone A miracle Fly little bee fly One day I shall do the same___
