Instead of Shanking.

There's a honey glaze
on your skin
that sits and crackles
in the sun
a sort of electric glow
that vibrates like heat
in waves from your contours
it is the lesser magic
to its cousin gravity
and has not yet mastered
the essential invisibility
Still it works
drawing them like flies
to your sweetened skin.

Sometimes I have to laugh
thinking
honey is just bee vomit.
