LITTLE WING
with thanks to the Chicago Honey Co-op (Tweet @Honeycoop)
A breeze full of angels,
a garden of mouthings,
the buzz of little wings
amid a squall of tears.
Like something
out of an Encyclopedia Britannica
classroom movie circa 1950 –
monaural, grey scale, slow mo.
Like something
out of a dream –
man-made bee hives
like little cathedrals
in the brush
behind Anderson-Shumaker,
the metal works along the old
CSX rail line, just west
of the Lotus Tunnel
at Central Avenue.
