The apples on this tree
remind me how being pi’d
from you is so hard to swallow.
Because
sometimes I’d like to be nearer.
An eggplant curled to its stock.
A goose
with its head hung low
in feathers. A barnacle bred
on the
body of a blue whale. Not this
half-rotted fruit. Baked. Powdered
into cake…
We had something fresh-squeezed,
sugar cold & sun-bleached. A million oranges
in a grove.
I want that juice! But I’ve only two apples.
Us. And for once in my life, cliché
math is aiding me.
Let’s start with those two apples. Take one
away. Now we’ve got one bitter. Me.
Have a bite
of that rancid ship. Swallow it,
port and starboard. Don’t end at the bow.
Digest
the sails. Know how many times
I’ve missed the sandbar with the anchor,
and swooshed
us into the jetty. The juice will drip from
the corners of your lips. I’ll taste them, salty.
My opportunity
to regrow into your parasitic paramour
will have branched. You’ll no longer be gravid.
I’ll spit the seeds
into wet dirt. And nothing will sprout.

WHOA!!!
Eda--always one of my favorites on the boards. lets say you n me n MG go hunt Cookie down n drag her ass back here and with a couple other longtime faithful, we can resurrect this place.
pieces like this are a damn good way to start that venture, girl. i love this:
"Have a bite
of that rancid ship. Swallow it,
port and starboard. Don’t end at the bow.
Digest
the sails."
I often missed you.

Thank you AE. I second your idea. We need to bring this place back into action. It's so fond in my heart/wherever feelings come from. Haha.

eak, I am loving it all and learning so much...I hope all of you come back more often, I'm sure feelin the power here today!
The last is the part I felt the most, a great sum up: My opportunity
to regrow into your parasitic paramour
will have branched. You’ll no longer be gravid.
I’ll spit the seeds
