Buzzed

i.
Kept companion by
bees as I harvest
lavender. After a
while, I begin to
hum their tune.

ii.
Monarch butterfly, on
a collision course with
my head. A quick do-si-do
lets us orbit each
other safely.

iii.
Planting onions, I
almost miss the dragonfly.
Stillness rewards me
with a soft, blue
landing. --alr, 5.26.08
