Summer High
Flashing sparks and diving larks Bees and butterflies Dancing colours in and out Light and sunbeams high

White fluff floating in the air Feathery balls alight Drifts of snow land everywhere Dancing in delight
The light and dreams of life are high Kaleidoscope in motion Continuous movement in the air Dazzling in devotion

The Beekeeper
Swallowed by his jumper, he slipper shuffles along the cracked concrete path. Papery palms - used to taking the strain on a tug o'war team, struggle to turn the handle, on an Aladdin's Cave he doesn't remember building.
A hodge podge of cobwebby tools, his bee suit and smoker. He mines the memory, clouded eyes twinkle - his cellophaned honey section in Centra and a woman's finger in it.
