The apple tree is humming

The apple tree is humming
like a dynamo.

From its left-for-dead
branches,
from its perishing frame,

a white costume
worthy of a caliph
or a dancer,
has bloomed and settled.


Manoeuvring, 
sedulous,
engrossed, 
the bees
have proven yet again 
to be
experts in the field.

They plug away
like tailors at a dress rehearsal.


The apple tree is humming
around my head,

a network fashioned
for mollification,

a crown of sound.
