XXIV - Bumblebee

Luca FlautoDreamy

Oh wee bumblebee, where do you go? I have your weightless body in my palm, you have troubles flying so you sleep. You find my warmth comfy, cosy.

Oh wee bumblebee, what do you think? You're just away, in an unknown land, surrounded by your favorite flowers.

And everything just silence.

Summary

The speaker is holding a tiny bumblebee in their hand. The bee is so light it hardly seems to be there, and it seems too tired or weak to fly, so it falls asleep in the warmth of the speaker's palm. The speaker talks to it gently, calling it "wee" and asking where it goes and what it thinks.
