THE BEE ON THE GROUND  


  THE BEE ON THE GROUND

It has rained a lot since yesterday.
Right now, its stopped.

I took the garbage out
And on the way,
I found a bee upon the ground.
I watched it for a little while,
Crawling slowly all around;
Wondering why,
it was not flying home.

He brushed himself
with his tiny feet,
and with wings aflutter
aired his body rapidly.
I myself -
carefully blew upon his wings,
To help him dry and get on his way.
Don't know if I was helping things,
But it couldn't hurt.

After some time to no avail,
he was dry enough to fly.
I noticed then,
no stinger at his tail,
And knew
that he was going to die.

He gave up trying at last.
I swear I heard him cry;
I'm sure I heard him moan,
Looking so "sad" and downcast,
As he crawled away to die -
alone.
