PREVAILS

Little humdrum bumblebee—flickering 
lowly and erratic 

through the stiff and non-particular 
knots of high grasses—how I wonder!

here beneath our shared canopy
of uncharacteristically chilly July air—do you 

also daydream? Are you so distracted-
ly busy? fizzing to recall—each and all

of last summer's most-popular blossoms?
where they were exactly—and how lovely!

it was to gently drink—and wick a little 
of their rarefied lives away from them?

Or are you merely out here humming
so diligently—to remind?

This too!—could be
true!

This too!—
might be right!

This too.
Can maybe

just—must 
be.
