Poem from The Body, A Tree
The Body, A Tree
might think itself lemon, overgrown behind a steel-grey house, and pulls in fat bees, holds to bright and sour. Or imagines itself almond, squirrels crazing through branches, cracking furred hulls, a chattering, all limbs. But maybe apricot, sap almost glowing on rough bark, with leaves to drop, shine, wither on grass. The body wishes. For soil, for fruit. For light to grow through, wood hardening to an ache.
