Apiary
A bird lives in a cave
and tucks her babies
away into the dark,
this is how they are safe.
Entire bushels of leaves
appear and flutter down
and come apart without
any human eyes noting
their color. A wild bee
and a domesticated bee
are the same, but we think
one of them belongs to us.
Somehow, there are still
secrets left in the earth.
Like this a lot, Hannah, especially the idea of safety in darkness.
