While The Neighbors Are Away


Observation On A Worker Bee Morning
Monday morning

and the neighbors are all gone.

Their parking spaces

behind the apartment are empty.

In the courtyard

our lions

hide in the urban savannah,

their furred faces

recalling lineage.

It is sweet,

warm

and burning

bright.

It is as beautiful as

it should be.

It is as beautiful as

it always is

whether or not

we ever notice.
