An Invisible Bee

Look how desire has changed in you,
how light and colorless it is,

with the world growing new marvals
because of your changing.

Your soul has become an invisible bee.
We don't see it working, but there's
the full honeycomb!

Your body's height,

six feet or so, but your soul rises
through nine levels of sky.

A barrel corked with earth and a raw wooden
spile keeps the oldest vineyard's wine
inside.

When I see you, it is not so
much your physical form, but the company
of two riders, your pure-fire devotion

....and your love of one who teaches you:

then the sun and moon on foot behind those...
