The Tree of Flowers

I shuffled restless, cluttered thinking,

When a breeze-like finger

jabs my shoulder, makes me

turn and notice, floating

little specks with honey

bursting out in white light.

“I wonder where the comb is,

where the bees go at night.”

Silly! Busy! Don’t you see

the diaphanous spice?

Smell it. Lean into the tinder.

Shut your eyes and feel the

cloves and black tea and ginger.
