New poems; more about honey

There is more honey

in this one. Wait,

Susan, where you off?

I bite off a corner of skin.

I begin to know the bartenders’

names. They see my feathers.

On all levels, in all places,

this is not a joke, so stop

laughing. Nice moves,

Susan. The water drips

wetter and tastes more like

honey more than honey does.

***

Call it breaking. Call it what

you will, Susan, you will anyway.

Susan, with that smile I feel

you may not be taking this seriously.

There is a law that all drops

of water and rays of heat

come from above. Some days,

Susan, I think you may be

half of that law.
