One clover, and a bee,
And revery.

The revery alone will do
If bees are few." - Emily Dickinson

A Beehive Here Inside My Heart


Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt – marvelous error! –
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.
