To Be Saved You Must Be Spent
The blast from the bees' wings is enough to knock the blossoms from the wisteria, late spring and the sexual clouds of pollen are dissipating in the backyard. The blooms' purple confetti litters the yard, the parade gone by, and the dogwood is dropping pieces of a letter it's shredded, white scraps with just a dab of ink staining each one. The words might have proclaimed love or been an official notice of death. All that can be said for sure is that the blue torque of the sky has tightened.

3. are the bumble bees safe yet? |
|
i know that in recent years, they've been dwindling.
which is sad, knowing that propolis can do so many things for ppl.
how are you? :hi:
"dogwood is dropping its pieces" best line because of the d-sound....alliteration or connontation? i can't remember if alliteration is a repetition of similar sound or if it's only repetition w/vowels. i could google it, but i need a cig! :bounce:
