Bumble Bee Hum
from the Grey Book (varied)
bumble bees hum -
finding food in the kitchen
my son hums too 302
yesterdays clouds
now bothering
someone else 303
in the old pot
west points north -
weather vane askew 304
knowing
where the shade is -
up turned pot 305
taking all day
to get the cooling shade -
those two stones 306
don't be sad slug
in this heat all bugs
just like you 307
in the shade -
half the meadow
at rest 309
oh sunshine!
so welcome until
all is dry 312
how curious
on the plum tree -
apricot leaves 314
fallen leaves -
in the shadow
of the tree 315
alas -
an autumn breeze
in summer 316
so still
I see it all
in the lake 317
summer heat -
tasting the beer
before it is poured 318
as they pass
flowers beckon bees -
come, come 319
bonsai in pots
hidden around the corner
in case they die 321
no time
to be dissatisfied -
butterflies fly 322
sitting amongst
the fallen apples -
scent of autumn 323
city lights -
across the water
a sailor moon 324
