In a scented garden
Bees bow into
Flower-heads.
Pigment on canvas
Leaves drying points
To scratch the
Finger-tips.
A woman places herself
In this scene.
Far-off,
Precipitous buildings cling,
Spider on a wall
And long tree line between.
Ochre
Reddish brown mingle
Subtle essence of
Feminine.
Birds bow,
Bees bow
And man too bows-
Adoration of
Mysterious earth
And miraculous
Causeless
Creation
