Bees<br />

Api<br />

Here are my bees,<br />

brazen, blurs on paper,<br />

besotted; buzzwords, dancing<br />

their flawless, airy maps.<br />

Been deep, my poet bees,<br />

in the parts of flowers,<br />

in daffo<strong>di</strong>l, thistle, rose, even<br />

the golden lotus; so glide,<br />

gilded, glad, golden, thus –<br />

wise – and know of us:<br />

how your scent pervades<br />

my shadowed, busy heart,<br />

and honey is art.<br />

Ecco le mie api,<br />

impudenti, infatuate, in<strong>di</strong>stinte<br />

tracce su carta; buzzwords che danzano<br />

impeccabili mappe aeree.<br />

Affondano, le mie api poete,<br />

nelle parti dei fiori,<br />

in car<strong>di</strong>, rose, narcisi, perfino<br />

nei loti dorati; scivolano così,<br />

splendenti, serene, dorate –<br />

sagge – e sanno <strong>di</strong> noi:<br />

che il tuo profumo pervade<br />

il mio cuore ombroso, solerte,<br />

e il miele è arte.<br />
