twenty-fours years staring
at an empty tea cup
i am stark naked
& no longer shatterproof
(not a good fit anymore)
funny thing
i can't taste
the honey

such a tremendous metaphor.
I can't remember the last time I read such a succinct piece with such an impact, so tied perfectly into the metaphor. vivid and somber when you really look beneath those verses...
such a powerful poem...
