How To Eat Honeycomb

Seek a wild Sapodilla tree
with a lonely honeycomb
in the middle of nowhere
take it apart
on the grassland below
and burst it open to pieces
like a surprise gift basket
and make off
like nature pirates
with the sweetness of gold
flowing from its bosom
to which the wild
but gentle bumblebees
seem to care less
