Bee Season
The selection is strong if the scent is not
awkward, and how soon an ordinary bee chooses colour over colour in the noir
crop of nasturtiums, a considerable collection of nasturtiums in gold and
yellow bright orange and something in between. The bee circulates the bed for
it is spring and the open flowers are laden with pollen there is nothing quite
flattening about the open petals they are displayed outwards not round perhaps
slightly ovoid and monstrously vibrant against the green saucer leaves, an occasional
resource to hide behind either from shadow or menace and since the bee is busy
his presence is a splendid sequestering of his slick slick sticky in order to
be clever this little insect cannot collect the same thing if the petals are
closed and partly to dally is a measure of empty and this particular bee has a
custom a plan a measure of length to stay and only to break away with the
excess he needs and this shows filling.
