Better for Bees

F l i t t e r about
Searching for that blurred colour
A promise of food
Get closer
Jackpot
Feet touch the petals
Tongue tastes the heaven
And so it’s collected
f l i t t e r back
Back to the burrow
Wander in that damp darkness
Storing today’s collection
Yet not feeling well
Lie down, yet it’s familiar
The familiar toxicity of pesticide
Penetrating the body
Weakening
Survived through the deadly fires
Just to go through this
Encouragement will never be enough
