For some reason Doxent’s beautiful Aurora Dreams recalled my poem which is itself a recollection of the Roman catacombs while beekeeping. I think the poem and the music are made for each other! Thanks Doxii & Panu.
honeycatacombs a year later taking eucalypt honey from neglected hives. open the lid a slit. puff the smoke. convent’s drone rises a semitone. then the lid comes away nurses blinded by Divine Light. a musty fustiness reaching nostrils and i am back in tufa tunnels at san sebastiano. bees withdraw to their own tunnels, body-sized cavities mystical waxy structures exuded from their flesh sculpted by their own mouths hexagonstrong smooth-cylindered meted out with wingspan precision unseen micrometers of architects engineers And as I carefully inspect shake off each frame my mind is buzzing with vespas, fiat bambini, smartcars droning on basalt cobbles on the Via Appia Antica of a warm spring day and we withdraw to cool tunnels of Death on the other side of the styx amongst mortal remains of christians and jews united/interred in death outside the ancient Aurelian city walls passed on the 218 bus from piazza san giovanni in laterano guided unerringly through labyrinths like Theseus this contemporary Ariadne’s thread a masterplan knowledge of Fixed Action Patterns inside her head, a dance of bees. later spinning frames in the laundry i watch close as a lone hatching bee chews the seal off its own mausoleum emerging to a world of light devoid of her congregation of sisters wondering perhaps am i in Purgatorio Inferno or Paradiso?
