Rolling in the pollen,
gathering the nectar
a bumblebee at work, on the job
capturing in my viewfinder,
discovered again in the picture
a busy bee, yellow and black
in the soft colors of the flower
the bloom in the church’s
garden. Spreading the pollen,
germinating, making the flower
seed, spreading the color
filling the gaps in the garden
with color, with the fruits
of the bee’s labor, those of its fellows
buzzing in the garden
