untitled

i like texture
in everything
especially music and photos
i like photos that make me want to touch them
thick textures
from the window screen
to the hospital's monstrosities
to a shadow on the back porch

but today is not about these
but bees
these bees return every spring
to claim the carport's beams
as their home
i worked very hard to get my little buddy to pose

he sensed me

and got close enough to feel the wings graze my arm hairs

call me a nature nut
but there was a communion
he kept returning
but never attacked
and could have a thousand times

that's the best shot of the day
