The
bees
are
awake
.
And
all
at
once
the
cherry
trees
are
full
of
buzzing
bodies
looking
for
a
way
to
start
again
.
They
’ve devoured
every
crumb
in
their
winter
larder
and
,
stomachs
empty
,
have
left
the
hive
to
find
a
world
awash
in
nectar
.
How
impossible
this
must
seem
.
Just
on
the
brink
of
starvation
they
are
saved
by
some
amber
god
with
tourmaline
wings
who
shakes pollen
loose
from
reluctant
hearts
. Amazed,
they
rise
in
a
cloud
of
humming
gratitude
until
there
are
almost
as
many
bees
as
blossoms.
I
follow
a
bumblebee
with
my
eyes
, furred abdomen
nearly
as
large
as
a
ping
pong
ball
,
and
I
never
doubt
that
it
knows
the
shape
of
joy
.
It
stumbles
from
one
delight
to
the
next
,
its
limbs
heavy
with
gold
dust
,
its
mouth
full
of
sweetness
.
I
know
something
of
its
honeyed
rapture
,
for
every
day
I
wake
to
words
that
seep
from
the
comb
and
I
eat
them
thick
on
buttered
toast
.
I
couldn’t
be
sure
that
winter
would
end
.
But
it
did
.
It
did
.
