Take from my palms, to soothe your heart,
a little honey, a little sun,
in obedience to Persephone's bees.
You can't untie a boat that was never moored,
nor hear a shadow in its furs,
nor move through thick life without fear.

that die when they leave the hive.

at home in the dark wood on the mountain,
in the mint and lungwort and the past.

this unlovely dry necklace of dead bees
that once made a sun out of honey. — Osip Mandelstam
