autumn leaves
coated with
honeyed autumn light
In The Sweet
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
October Glory
the light
was as thick as honey
its sweetness coated the day
Bee’s Favorite
pink hostess to
the thrum and buzz
of sweetness in the making
Harvest
As the workers toil in the carpet of sage
they hum and buzz their dictum
“from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs”
Hive
Now they keep their honey hoard safe in the hollows of old trees.
