Improv 16 (“A Story About the Body” Hass)


“Honey, Why?”
In that blue handthrown bowl
full of dead bees
Did they still have their stingers?
Bees are endangered and we need the
Honey, why?
Were they a Bumble, a Carpenter or a
Honey, how did you collect them?
Did you sweep them, stabbing their
fuzzy corpses with straw bristles
never giving them hope of carrying nectar
to their queen from those flowers
Honey. Why?
