Blue-winged goddess

If she wasn’t hooked on honey
she would fall down on my page
I rescued a blue- winged bee sage
I hope she’ll enjoy her stay
in my human home
She strains her abdomen
I pray it’s not bad omen
her Hermes powers at rest
Did she leave her nest in earnest
I found her on lonely gray stairs
I pray she heals from her despairs
as the carpenter bee sleeps dangled
To my honey lathered chopsticks
I admire her frail black body
I gently blow on her she’s inside
my heart. I felt hers when she
Gripped my thumb.
