I carry an empty gourd
where inherent purpose should be.
It rattles dry seeds to my arrhythmic pace,
inside its thin shell, yellow-white, bubbly-brown.
I fill it with froth from the jealous sea,
my cave of stone where late blossoms sleep.

D'Anjou
I'm in bed with a pear,
freckled, green, and too cold for my teeth,
fragrant, sweet, and bottom heavy
just like me.
It sits like a gift,
contours concaving egg-crate foam.
Little pear holds its chill.
Sexy fruit blushes;
when it's warm I'll eat it,
regretting the canine tears into its skin,
juice-drip down my chin.
Little pear exists to be consumed.
freckled, green, and too cold for my teeth,
fragrant, sweet, and bottom heavy
just like me.
It sits like a gift,
contours concaving egg-crate foam.
Little pear holds its chill.
Sexy fruit blushes;
when it's warm I'll eat it,
regretting the canine tears into its skin,
juice-drip down my chin.
Little pear exists to be consumed.
