Where Is the Bee?
Full hour now
Sitting by this flower
Waiting for
The bee to come
Through golden light
Of evening
Laden with her hum
But long time waiting
No honey maid comes
Where is the bee
I came to see?
I came before
Yesterday
From the city's growl
To be far away
To sniff the fragrance
From the weed
I hear the dance
By which you concede
The knowledge of gold
In golden vanity
Of flower in the sun.
No fruit forms on the tree
No honey in the hive
The bee is gone from me
Not one here
Found alive.
Could be the seed
Genetically transformed
Or pesticide
Silencing the breed?
I want to hear
Again the hum, sweet
Upon the tongue,
And watch the dance
Of golden glee
Where is the bee?
