Jack Gilbert: Older Women

Each farmer on the island conceals
his hive far up on the mountain,
knowing it will otherwise be plundered.

When they die, or can no longer make
the hard climb, the lost combs year
after year grow heavier with honey.
And the sweetness has more and more
acutely the taste of that wilderness.
