Golden shovel after José Olivarez
The hive is humming in the dark. I
know because I’ve been inside. I know
their voices, their paper-wings, we
can imagine them huddling close, to exist
in the darkening winter, because
I know it’s cold inside. The queen of
the brood dwells at the heart of what
her maiden’s wings provide. We
know they are alive by the riches they make.
