An Apiary Atrium
The two bathing are Melissēe and Amber.
Melissēe, the mythological honey nymph
Amber, the symbol of youth preserved

*An Apiary Atrium*
A butterfield, the summer sky
hung drippy, sticky, sweet
and caramelized, the girls inside
were honey dew in heat
yet in their final golden hour
Amber said to Melissēe
"There are so few, who were as we
the peach, the blossom and the bee"
