Birthday Valentine (for D)

Remember the bush I pruned
into a tree now it’s 15 feet tall
and almost as wide filled with
purple panicles like lilacs today
and when you walk under it
you can hear battalions
of bees harvesting the bounty
above you so you feel yourself
as if inside a brilliant brain at work
going about its daily business
of careful rumination
sometimes tossing frantically about
as if contemplating walking off
but deciding not
