Pastoral

the breeze ripples over the top
of long sheaves of cut grasses
a border collie pants as he guards his post
among the black-faced sheep, grazing,
honeybees and bumblebees buzzing atop sweet clover
that smells like the  finest perfume from Paris
the last of a long day of summer weather
caught in a picture frame for posterity
when honeybees may become a thing of the past
and the familiar buzz of the fields
becomes replaced by nanobots that self-fertilize

our flowers, our food, our futures
