Land of (milk and) honey

Somewhere there is a land where
a woman's genitals are called honey
and i wonder what it all means?
so sweet, so precious?
so desirable? but so unattainable?
i wonder what lores surround the word
what stories, what myths
and whether they are all
wistful and respectful
or entitled and vengeful

And elsewhere, it is not spring
that is the king of seasons
but monsoon, the fertile one
that reigns over them all
as the queen
