The poem this month is called ‘Bee or Not Bee’. You can read it on Cirenscene.com
Graham says it’s intended to be a kind of riddle and isn’t necessarily about what readers think it first seems to be! Read it on cirenscene.com.

Bee or not bee
I live to pollenate, fertilise
the fragrant moment;
hung on air in dusty dryness;
carried fleetingly like smoke in stillness.
This incense carpets my senses
as buzzing urgency
dances out my quest:
not scent, nor colour, only sun.
Taking sweetness
giving fruitfulness
my driven purpose;
to share; disclose.
This will; not my own
my brothers too follow
my dance
as I theirs.
My Queen is many:
in each incarnation her hunger
feeds me
my brothers, my children.
The fertile seed continues
my sons shall seek the flower
driven by the same dance
to satisfy their Queen.
All life is fuel to burn
all memories are ash
hung on the heat of the moment,
fallen onto the sheet.
Past desire
shall burn no more.
The pregnant pause
drained in fullness.
Dirty with dreams,
I fly
as the wind
breathes.
This winter, my empty husk shall blow away.
