The News In Poetry Day 45: Buzz

They’ve built a beehive out in Waddington.
Inside, the workers store intelligence
In endless files, inside the honeycomb.
And drones fly out, in service of the Queen.

And far away, a mother tells her child
“Don’t cry, do not be frightened, my habibti;
The buzzing that we hear above our heads .
Is only drones, so don’t be scared, my darling:
They will not sting, Insha’Allah, not today.”
