An Alpine Meadow
(Sierras, from Berkeley, 1967)
A splash of yellow on a field of green
Caused the bees to stir-
Raising hopes of winter honey,
Where snapdragons previously were…
Sunlit slopes and fragrant air
Keep the bees a-hum
Raising petal fetishes,
Where the bees are from.
What is your secret of activity
All the summer long?
I hope to break the meadow code
Of your flower song.
Harold L. Overton
