Testo 13 Bees - Mary Timony

13 Bees

Each of these three times six bees alone and afraid
Making their way down dark highways
I want you to do what you do
A mysterious wish in a dirty room
Each of these three trees times six dark and grey
through a day
13 bees are born today
on a darkening wave
When I saw you
13 bees have died today
14 bees were born today
I turned away
They looked at you with x-rays
13 bees have died today
