A Bilingual Approach to Love
a bilingual approach to love
has always served me best;
the language of bees
providing a basis
for interaction.
each flower dances just so,
its colors absorbing
the morning sun's glow,
its dewdrops
a bath--a face wash
filled with pollen
left over from the day before.
drunken bees
cannot resist.
just one more drink,
face planted
feet dancing
on papered petals,
a maneuver
without parallel
for its beauty
and its simplicity of need.
