The Way

By Melissa Kalinowski

Of the way the bumblebee goes,
hangs upside down
from the flower head of goldenrod,
the way it absorbs the sunny panorama,
the way it fetches sugary stores,
the way it quits and journeys to a home far afield;
an idea—
of what creates an inner bounty like honey:
good labors, for oneself and for others.
