Exerpt from the poem "She Bee", published by Verse Libre Quarterly (VLQ) in their Spring '06 edition
...She fanned her wings. Couldn’t explain that the honey made her feel closer to him, the pull of the heavy sap, the locking of bodies, if only temporary. The tacky skin left, evidence of their love. As if somehow that would make him stay. The scent of her flower a memory in the sweet honey.
Forget that at the start of winter, all worker bees die...
