13 Bees

Each of these three leaves times six
Bees alone and afraid
Making their way down dark highways
None having lived in the shade
I want you to do what you do
A mysterious wish in a dirty room
Each of these three trees times six
Beds dark and grey
Opening fear and flowers
None having lived through a day
Fourteen bees are born today
They sail in a ship on a darkening wave
When I saw you I came out of my cave
Thirteen bees have died today
Fourteen bees were born today
They started to shake and I turned away
They looked at you with x-rays
Thirteen bees have died today
