“In Tall Grass” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 187822 Jul 1967)
Bees and a honeycomb in the dried head of a horse in a pasture corner—a skull in the tall grass and a buzz and a buzz of the yellow honey-hunters.
And I ask no better a winding sheet over the earth and under the sun.
Let the bees go honey-hunting with yellow blur of wings in the dome of my head, in the rumbling, singing arch of my skull.
