Spring's Passion

Spring's Passion

Bells of coral silk swinging gently
on slender poles of greening legs.
Black and yellow heated core
has an RSVP’d bee dipping pollen.

The chiming out of happy bells
sending the bee shivering but
returning bearing more bell dust
into the coral skirt’s warm heart.

Black and yellow on black and yellow
tasting honey, waxen and smooth
from loosened sticky lips. Slipping a
sipping tongue into a pulling mouth.

The stinging prick of the bumbling
buzz, shatters the skirt of the bell
into tattered orange strips clinging to
the damp, quivering black and yellow core.
