They're so cute. Beekeeping is extremely therapeutic. You wouldn't think it would be. But especially when you are by yourself and it's really quiet. They are incredible.Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts.
Nor the woman in the ambulance
Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly--
A gift, a love gift
Utterly unasked for
By a sky
Palely and flamily
Igniting its carbon monoxide, by eyes
Dulled to a halt under bowlers.
O my God, what am I
That these late mouths should cry open
In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers.
- Poppies in October by Sylvia Plath
WAIT. WAIT. YOU KEEP BEES?!?!??!?!?!
