Bees
one day
while searching for thoughts
while searching for words
I happened to come across a hole in my chest
strange I thought this hole in my chest
how did get such a hole in my chest
can you imagine my complexion
upon closer inspection
I noticed bees were building a nest
building a nest in this hole in my chest
they come in
they come out
they never rest
these droning worker bees
that are building a nest
I hear them working
buzzing and chewing
chewing and buzzing
buzzing and chewing
let’s peek inside
see how they are doing
oh what a fine nest these bees are building
building and building in this hole in my chest
will they stay there all winter dormant and sleeping
oh how I wish I could join them
lie with them there in their safe keeping
sleep with them there in the hole of my chest
oh
if I could
if only I could
I’d be their guest
and sleep with those bees
in the hole in my chest
