toforwith (the bees)

(for Bz, looking up...)

to the yellow cling and the drip, the waiting
for hexagons, pinnacles, an overflow
with want of rising

to lift, then replace "t" with silent "e," longing
for early May
with its plumpness and sting (sometimes without "t")

to reach in
for evidence: life slides easily
with bridges and breaths

to break is to gain something
for now a substance, substantial and sweet
with glow
