Sugar on my bones
honey in my marrow
licorice on my lips
tang on my tongue
skin slippery with sweetness
fresh fingers and tasty toes
So many of you
think beauty
is only for baking
a delightful dinner
leaving only an oven for offspring
How many of my sisters
did you feast upon
then throw into the fire
and watch burn
Honey deserves honor
or sweetness becomes savage
turning tables
with talons whet
we will take
our desserts
