“A Yellow Jacket’s Wanderings” by Kari Burchfield

petals of paper
.                cream and lilac
facets of wings
.                iridescent in morning
stinger punctures air
               traverse the page
plants of plastic
               copper and aluminum
antennae pivot slowly
.                meander along edges
tasting every step
