I Met A Bee

 

I met a bee

who buzzed like Amitabha

and murmured like Jesus.

He gave me some advice.

“Stick your nose

in the pollen of silence.

Immerse your tongue

in the flower

of bewilderment.

You can only make honey

when you're drunk.

Probe deeper into the myrrh  

until you taste 

a sweetness 

that won't be found 

in any other world."
