Bearing Fruit
Perpetually fixed, perfectly placed in the
ripeness of summer,
forever teetering on the cusp on June and July;
The body is heavy, flushed, rife - youthfully fertile and
yielding younglings monthly
tenderly sweet, thickly rich as
they dangle from outstretched limbs;
The body is waiting, poised, ready - unknown & unwanted
hands tear the
exposed gems promptly,
utlilizing sharp teeth to greedily
skin and
peel back
their soft coverings;
The body is barren, ruined, taken,
empty.
