Buzzed, by Mark Blickley

Buzzed

It takes 100,000 buzzing vomits
to create one pound of honey
inside my head
 
Our moisture will evaporate
as my nectar
converts into your honey
 
A foraged energy source of
sweet offerings you ingest
to thicken into honey
 
Creating within me
the cells that seal
my honeycomb
 
for later consumption.
