The advantage of knowing

Frozen honey

is what you thought you heard

making me smile 

coming from

the advantage of knowing -

such a wonderful position -

 

you indeed heard correct

that is what I said

 

frozen honey

were the words

leaving my lips

as you stepped in

from outside

 

and I laugh at the puzzle pieces

between your eyes

rumpling dearly

as you try to comprehend

the thought of

frozen honey

 

understandably so

and I contemplate

how I can prolong

your suspense

 

how can I prolong

letting you in where

the idea of frozen honey

comes from

 

and as the sun sets

the honey becomes less frozen

and as it starts dripping

I see you seeing it

the frozen honey

 

you look and you see it

defrosting

the frozen honey

 

making me smile about

the advantage of knowing

where to look to see

it dripping

the frozen honey
