Tumbling from my mouth
These honey bees
Place them on the lotus bloom
And start over again
Crumbling from my mouth
These honey bees
Place them in the storage room
And start roaming again
Climbing from a mound
These hungry bees
Praise them for their storage skills
And start roaming again
Climbing up a hill
These hungry thieves
Praise them for their storage skills
They startled the homing pigeon
Clinging to the hill
We hunt the thieves
Raid them in their foreign schools
And starve them from their home and kitchen
Tingling in my mouth
These honey sweets
Raid them from the storage room
Then start making more again
Tumbling from my mouth
These honey bees
Place them on the lotus bloom
And start over again
Welcome one and all to the banquet hall
Fashioned on a sonic web
That constantly evolves biologically poetic
Constellation buzzing like a song
