looking down on

pots of pollen and paintbrushes
in the fruit orchards
of southwest china
pots of pollen and paintbrushes
farmers and their children
are armed with
pots of pollen and paintbrushes

climb into the branches

the wings flop over
and reverse direction
tiny helicopters
tumbling down

longing

he waits…
SILENCE.
