Honey

Honey warmth at noon
Ground remembers wooden spoons
For what they once were
May never be again
Chose to believe hymns
Save the day’s leaves
Laid out in calling miseries
Nowhere near sailed seas
Songs found china dolls
Tucked in ferns round
Nested sleep of names
Coloring speech slowly
Mend the day’s fears
Honey warmth at noon
When none are ever
As alone as they sing
