Mad Honey first appeared in the author’s chapbook titled mad honey, from dancing girl press, 2018
A cast of green comes. Summer lightning. He said,
it’s the only thing that ever happened to her.
We find meaning in plaster, in books,
in rhododendrons till winter.
A life on the Alps is eked out.
A far history blurs the landscape to lavender.
Limbs withstand not only cold,
but also heat and sun. Mary of the bloody palms:
it’s not the altitude that brings on such
hallucinations. Honey is a weapon of war.
