Mad Honey

Emily Moore

She taught me how to remember the signs of the zodiac in order, with the sentence “The ramble twins crab liverish; scaly scorpions are good waterfish.”

“I’m just afraid-“ I say. “It’s not enough to make me happy.”

But he waits, patient, this tortured boy who thinks he has a hurricane brewing under his skin.

How even if there are broken parts of him and broken parts of me, together we still make a whole.

"Why do you do that? Joke about it?" "Because if I don't," I admit, I’ll cry."

“Ask me if I give a fuck,” Jordan tosses back. He opens the closed office door.

I'm a very different person than I was during those dark days. Or so I like to think.
