Exequies for a Bee

(twenty-eight of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)


Found a Bee last night
on its last leg
of its short existence.

Got me thinking. . .
a lone(r) individual
now no longer
pollinating his
surroundings, unable
to serve his Queen,
accepts his fate &
waits for the gate
to open.

This Bee lied sideways
barely moving
on my bedroom floor.

i would have set outside
but i knew he would not
survive, so i tried
to make his upcoming
demise
as comfortable as
possible.
