Telling the Bees

The peel of the church bells

floated on the air

from the valley beyond

and as they did

the setting sun reflected in her eyes

Orange and red in the sky,

white light in her corneas,

a glowing ball

balancing on the very top

of the hills in the west.

The shadow crept along the ground,

passing over her and engulfing her,

as she was telling the bees,

of her sorrow and pain.
