Queenless |
---|
they’re queenless
I can’t save them
in a moon they’ll all be dead anyway
they were upset for being left behind
they feared for their future
for that they got punished
suffocated in their box
I just have to let go
it’s what we do
an air force
of crunchy little bodies
wings at the ready
my buzzy little friends
without a future
near the bottom of
the food chain
I cannot save them
I can’t keep them
and nobody wants them
so they must die
naturally
it’s complicated
safety, transport, liability
citizens’ rights, county inspectors
all manner of meaningless drivel
that gets in the way of life
as reparations I get honey
