rolling about in their dark songs
humming strange nursery style rhymes
it made her cry to witness this
for in a dream once she thought
they were not buzzing black
but a book of bold butterfly_kisses
swimming over her pinned tongue
turned in reverse motion
flying away from her lips
back to their places of birth
the flowers, their countries of origin bearing bright and cheerful gifts
summer whispers of blue lobelia nectar
