Last Waltz

Slow and drowsy
Throughout the garden
From one scent to another
Fluttering here and there

Dizzy and groggy
Haphazardly
They stumble 
Barely bumbling

They dance with feeble wings
They flit and hover
The way they palpitate
Buzzing in the cool autumn air

Taste testing late bloomers
Under that late September sun 
They perform most graciously
Their final waltz of the year
