A brief treatise on honey.
when I boil my tea
I like to put the honey
in
first
so that when the water boils in
it seeps with the chai and chamomile and earls of grey. And
honey
is why I say
my favorite food is baklava
because it is the most socially
acceptable
way to consume so much
sticky
goodness
in public. And so,
when I call you
hun
I am of course, abbreviating
and not because I want to mimic
the woman at the diner
who fries hash browns and calls up omelets
while encouraging pies
to the tables of townies
over sunday morning’s news;
but instead
because you are
honey
sweet and
slow moving and
golden
when the light passes through.
