how honey is made

I am overcome with the sweetness

As I swallow myself 

As i learned to swallow him

I create a new sensation

Sweet, thick 

Honey on my sleeves 

On my hands 

Lips pursed in something like pleasure

Similar to the way the statues we pitied

Stays frozen in their agony 

 

When you ask what it tastes like 

A lie of fire

Of dusk 

Of embers left on my lips

From diners of phrases I’ve stored in my stomach 

When my time for anger was finally here

But sitting before this rage, this feast of rage 

I have curbed my appetite 

With memories of my youth 

Of the dancing and the screaming 

And the art of understanding which 

Of her voices 

Would become the song of apology that night

 

Such sweet performances

Such a sweet girl

When she asks about her voice 

Her chance to yell 

I will tell her sweet girl

You are honey 

Made to be sweet 

By working hands who look only to stir you in 

And swallow you whole

And so you will swallow yourself many times

Until  you will learn to hate the taste 

Of the bitter fruit

You wish to be
