Strawberries
Plump and juicy
Delicious to eat
And a tasty snack
Savory and sweet
And I'm craving for
the sweetness of you.
Strawberries 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
I ate a ripe fandango
and washed it down with Tango
it tasted just like mango
Sounds like a fruit to me

People talk, more than I.
I am ashamed of my past,
And confused about my life.
Where the history, of many lineages
Is well-described:
I am unaccustomed with mine.
What I know, of right & of wrong,
Is it predicated on the rule of the weak
By that of the strong?
The gaze thus glares from my eyes,
Does it live in black & in white?
Does bruised fruit still grow ripe?
Caosín Dec 2023
My heart is made of bone
and lungs are made of pomegranates
My eyes are dull with stars
And my mouth is rough as apricots.

Trees laden with fruit
all growing in the orchid
will be in season

Touch
A heightening of senses

Touch
Bristling beneath it

Horripilation
Sweeping up bodies -

From the Latin, horrere pilus,
"to bristle" + "hair" -

The most delicious
Can be the most poisonous

Exploding with each
Touch

Anticipation erupts
Touch

At the very thought
Of such delicious fruit

Touch
Contemplating the sensation of goosebumps.

Respect the desert

the Tsamma holds providence

natural balance
A Khoisan proverb.

Watermelon sweet,
a juicy summer mess that
I taste in July.
