as they must

there is that which is immovable.

Previous Version
This is a previous version of as they must.



a honeybee
bid a stone to stay
and humbly did
the stone obey

the stone in turn
demanded flight
the bee obliged
until the night

but death
and dust did visit
as they must

and there
the bee did lay

beside the stone.
so quietly
did the stone
remain
