My figment was a fig: as in to be eaten
So much we cannot know by now is apparent
Much to backrub, to listen from
The gore that makes this form a holiday
Have planted stone fruit in my universe
of things for safe- & beauty-keeping
Regardless the droplet
A moonman is safe in a mountain
& triangle’s alight
Only what broadness is to size
Pensive stain
on the collar of the world’s workshirt
as war-torn as every photograph
you don’t look tired in—
The genetic data of roses makes them beautiful
Meanwhile a purple cloud is saying nothing
to a pink cloud except
“I love you in this color tonight.
In this awesome wind.”
