Bonnet
Sunny and splendid, the long grass waved wonderfully into a lavish meadow; summery scented
Padded and masked and gloved and covered in rugged protection, a colony follows me, buzzing, relentlessly
Hovering gust of lovely aggression: plummeted and descended down upon my body suit with stunning momentum…
An overshadowing engulfment of swarming, drones orbiting, florid tones, storing gold, pollinating - orchid bulbs with dusted resin
Bunnies & pheasants running under the fences, foxes with cunning perception, in pursuit, with a hunter’s discretion
Closing the gate, coated with paint, rusted and dented: insects crawling over it, undetected,
Hundreds upon hundreds upon further magnified adjusted inspection…
Spider spun the webs and slugs smudged the fences: centipedes, touching antennas - rubbing together- legs running reckless
Approaching the hive, smoldering, flying over the uncontrollable mine: clustering specimens
Bustling with adrenaline, my voice bubbly and befriending, comforting, in a hectic, funneling setting
Bumbling at the entrance, confronted by henchmen, workers bee swerve fervently, furiously with urgency: humbly threatened
A puffy presence of a furry, Queen Bee: plump and majestic - her every need met with fuzzy attention, it robustly beckoned
I study and questioned this behavior with puzzling perplexion, in a muggy, country side, stuffy and sweating
Watermelons shrubs, muddy reflection, butterflies color the sky with such delicate
Bee brushing his legs into the fussy nest with what he’s collected - Until the comb becomes encrusted, cubby cemented
Jumpy with tension, stingers puncturing the threading on my gloves, my hands numbing and swelling
Waving them around, bee upon bee crushed from deflection, stuttering to a deathbed
After stinging with their stubby erection, they died and were removed, snugly suspended -
An invader in this buggy spectrum, face becoming lumpy with redness, a puffy complexion
Becoming ugly in seconds, shutting the gate behind, running with bloody injections
He swung with affection, running, his skin bumpy with infection, puss; in a gully, undetected
Grumpy and dejected, firing his flare gun to get his buddies attention,
as thousands of bees search around the trees with a destructive obsession
One bee clumsily senses him, alerting the hoard, burrowing forth, unjustly upset and stuck on revenge
Attacking him in blunted succession, punishing, their legs, chocked full, gummy with pectin
Thumping their bludgeoning weapon into the beekeepers body suit: rough on the edges
Stung from a hundred and a eleven, dulling the cerebellum under his helmet, with thumb tacks, plucking
the wedges from the denim
Antiseptic recovery session - A quarter mile away, the coast is clear, cloudy covering, luckily, resting
Purple markings - glumly pecked with, utterly breathless, unable to breathe in the 80 degrees, huffing and venting
Each breath husky and zealous, as poison rushes to his tendons, flushing his system with analgesic
The substance melittin shutting his adrenal glands down, corrupted, suppression
Allergic reaction, emergency gasping, worms squirm in the grass - stomach congested
Consuming pollen off his gloves, delicious, nutty flavor, crunchy, yummy
He was in heaven…Sitting sullied in a trench, and waiting for back up, just then, abruptly, a headwind
A humming, menacing, buzzingly wretched, hovering rebellion, he flustered and fended for his life
While his buddy clumsily netted, sunk in and embedded with the thorns that struck him and blemished
Little rumbling engines fluttering in ascension; fluffy and lemon, extracting succulent nectar from the shrubs they selected
Sunny and splendid; the long grass waves wonderfully into the perky meadow summery scented.
Smelling the bud: Love, rich with both honey and venom -
