"Out Of The Strong Came Forth Sweetness"
A TASTE OF GOLDEN SYRUP Beneath hard lid of soft-mined tin is pot of liquid gold: Man's honey imperially harvested, raised on jagged bones; yielded from live ribs of a captured plunder. Sun has no blood for bees to suck; it secretes a comb of purer sweetness. But man's sugar is full of teeth: bleeding knuckles, broken spines. It's bittersweet bled from the flesh of the weak.�

Wow! This leaves one with the sense of
the bittersweet. A ponderance on the
condition of man. Excellent and haunting.

This reads like a discourse on mans dual nature, but
I'm probably wrong, just where my mind is tonight;-)
A stunning poem of strong and elusive images.Great work Kate!

Hi Kova Kate

This is so interesting.....I've read it thru several times. A bit sweet mystery here for me, I have looked at this from both sides of the honey comb. The taking and the giving......
