before flowers knew bees were not slaves

before flowers knew bees were not slaves

before flowers knew bees were not slaves
life was at your honey like an un-nested miracle
as ravenous as any sad thing with a crisp tendril
drilling into the happy where the sad is a peach
with blue flags and marvels beyond your kin.
like love on your doorstep.

or an unkempt orange.
