Bee
August 9, 2021
The carpenter bee departs
Leaving this world for one unseen.
The small burrow-hole
Nearly invisible in wood grain,
The departure marked only by
A showering of pollen.
It falls softly to her eyelids,
Heavy with sleep, now yellow-stained.
With easy breaths
She leaves through that burrow-hole.
Her head on your lap, her mind
Someplace you can never go.
