TEXT: you are in a garden, alone
  once, your siblings filled this space, full of noise and industry
  but now you are alone
  once, your mother sat, waiting for you to come home with the setting sun
  but now you are alone
  once, your life was filled with pollen, and the promise of continuance
  but now you wait to be no more
  find your garden, ideally empty but for yourself
  close your eyes and imagine being surrounded by your loved ones
  squeeze your eyes tight until they begin to ache slightly
  burst them open, and see that you are alone
  try, and fail, to picture your family where you imagined them
  become aware: is there waste where there shouldn’t be?
  recover it, placing it in a bin
  imagine the human who carelessly discarded it as it slips from your fingers
  imagine the face who murdered your mother through apathy
  let it go
  you are alone
  become aware: is there a flower in bloom?
  smell it, breathing deep
  imagine the flavours that roll from the aroma
  imagine the delight of spreading it to other gardens
  let it go
  you are alone
  become aware: is there a noise that shouldn’t be?
  listen closely, ignoring everything else
  imagine the laughter of your siblings as they beat their wings
  imagine that love being replaced by mechanical droning
  let it go
  you are alone
  become aware: are members of a family, other bees, dancing in the garden?
  if there are, recognise that you have imagined them, for you are alone
  if there aren’t, recognise that you must accept the truth, for you are alone
  you are alone
  lay upon the grass
  close your eyes
  rest, sleep, if you can
  you are alone
