Bee On Mexican Hat Wildflower — Image by kenne

A honey bee drifts down,
settling into the dark cone
of the Mexican Hat,
petals flaring red and yellow
like a flamenco dress in wind.

In the Arizona White Mountains
clouds move in slow herds,
shadows sliding across meadows—
but here, the flower holds still,
a small sun drawing sweetness.

The bee works methodically,
gold dust clinging to its legs,
while the mountains breathe
their cool late-summer air,
silence beneath a shifting sky.
