After a long day's travail,
buzzing in fuzzed intensities of sunlight,
the dapple, in-and-out of hollows,
the bright signatures of petals,
the lights of their landing-strips
zeroing in on the sweet prize,
seeking, collecting,
moving pollen-dusted on,
returning loaded to the hive,

bask for a few precious minutes
on a sun-bed of privet leaves,
bathed in kind evening light,

cleaning our legs,
in quiet contemplation of idleness.
