A Dash of Pollen

I love winter, but at some point in February,

without fail,
I start to daydream of bees
saddled with tiny baskets —
baskets piled high with pale yellow pollens.

And all the flowers say
amen
when their burdens are eased.


The Pollen Ring from the Saddle Series:
built of sterling, pearl and 14 carat gold.
