How many bees does a day have?
With petals and pollen
attached to their backs
they dart through the wind
and some never come back
to their warm honey filled home
that which others return
their queen now has borne
over 200 eggs from 12 in
the midnight
to late past the twilight
how many bees does a day have?
But should that be the question
in which the day asks
should it not be
how many days does a bee have?
To flit on the earth to meadow from stream
how many days have I gained to be free?
