Working blooms.

The bees are in it for the hive,

they load their knees and carry the pollen home.

Butterflies are voracious

but work alone.

They light upon their dinner

and feast


with no interest or concern

for the ghostly gardener

who set their table months before.

Waking.

The planted bulbs are up,
each clump in turn as ordered by the hours of sunlight.
You can almost see the bee.


The buds at the branch tips


are set to explode,


some into flowers first,


some first into leaves.


Once a peach, this stump’s done,
the trunk become new wood for carving or for fire.


Blessed by a working bee.
