Living with Carpenter Bees

[Sparkydashforth]

Hi CRNDLSM,

Thanks for the positive review.
Sorry about the 'unpacked shadows' thing.
It could be criticized as just a sound bite, but it
provides a meta-image that appeals to me.

Obliged!

They are dug in
under the screen door
where my foot swings,
where concrete crumbles.

Fat and fuzzy
the bees scurry
as heavy as baby mice. 'As heavy as' sounds like a lack of a better word.  but if I read these three lines quickly it sounds alright. 
They share an apartment
with a chipmunk,
and a long black centipede
that sometimes emerges
to ripple-wave at something
only it can see. I really like this setting 

The bees skim a small acreage;
rotund whirring blimps.
meandering low.
A pair will often chase each other
in a circle of sunlight.again very nice descriptions

When night drips from the roof,
we share a living space
made from unpacked shadows.the space is made from shadows? unpacked shadows makes me think of the bees out at night flying, but I really had to think about it.  it's not clear to me sorry.

I really like some of the sound repetitions.  chipmunk, drip, blimp ripple, and there's a lot of movement in general throughout, circle, whirring, wave, crumbles, their everywhere it's pretty cool.
