Mending the Hive
Cara Losier Chanoine
Blessed are the beekeepers,
who have mastered so delicate an art
as navigating the mood swings
of animals who sting.
As a country,
we are still learning
the nuances of grace;
how to dance and not stampede,
how to soothe and not provoke.
The beekeepers
are not afraid,
and so an enemy becomes an ally.
In their hooded suits
they cross over
into foreign airspace,
moving not against the bees
but with them.
