to bee or not

I never once understood the attraction
white lilies at a funeral
offering up their pollen
flamboyantly
with an ulterior motive
to bees going about their business
yet with cut throats

frozen plastic tokens
of a defunct virgin mother

not for the mourner
if indeed mourner
but the witnesses

I brought white lilacs

out of season
out of country
out of mind

and memory
