honey
nr
when
i
was
a
kid
and
had
a
cold
,
my
nanny
made
me
take
a
spoonful
of
honey.
i
tried
to
resist
,
saying
it
tasted
like
garbage
. (
i
don't
think
i
had
ever
tasted
garbage
,
though
i
suppose
that's
up
for
interpretation.)

...
raze
mary
used
to
substitute
that
bee
-born
amber
ooze
for
sugar
in
her
tea
.
i'm
sure
i
took
my
own
that
way
once
.
it's
been
so_long
i
can't
remember
how
it
tasted
.
whatever
i
held
in
my
mouth
has
seeped
into
my
memories
of
her
,
few
and
fragmented
as
they
are
.
all
i
see
are
ceiling
spikes
and
a
bedroom
i
would
have
to
hunch
to
stand
in
now
.
batman
on
the
bedspread.
magic
in
the
vents.
take
me
back
in
time
thirty
years
and
a
day
,
and
i'll
sleep
like
a
stone
between
hand
-washed
sheets
with
a
threadbare
prayer
on
my
lips
.
