Naaw
his
heart trembled in his chest a crew was taking down another
of his favourite ancient oaks in the neighbourhood whenever he approached them hed quit his
walkread and stop to admire acknowledge them
a lone chainsaw he didnt see where was whining
a helmeted Hispanic man yellow
vest at the rear of the mechanised ensemble heldup a gloved hand to stop him as he
approached
the man worked his way behind around a huge truck and chopper went a bit
uphill avoiding the space hed have to enter and cross to get down to the foot of
the road
his English was broken There many bees, manymany bees, you go back,
go other way.
Im comfortable with bees
They sting workers, they
angry.
Angry with you and your workers
for disturbing their habitat cutting down the tree
They sting many, they sting you.
They wont sting me Ive not offended them
I not responsible you sting.
No yare not I appreciate your concern though not what yare doing
he
walked between the orange warning cones and to the right of a huge hollowed limb broken comb honey smeared the gravelly
rotting road bees swirled a hydraheaded
cyclone they flew into his hair landed on his clothing Hey gang its me I am terribly sorry
a longish password
he came out of the space then
beyond the truck and chopper a lot of strap-on
gear crushed tall grass chainsaws different sizes
Sting many workers he mused
Yahwell they fucking deserve it taking my tree
he had mistook the buzzing always thought it was a breeze
working through its overhead branches
