Bees

The bees are out in earnest this morning,
failing to fly under the wet weight
of her first rainstorm.

They aren't black and yellow, as the picture-
books suggest, and they dart like Bok's vowels
through the bushes -

she floats with them, fuzzy-haired,
far from satisfied as the rain ignores her questions
of its origin.
