You came to me willing
and I laid you bare
until daddy came along
and saw the leaves in your hair
You came to me willing
and I laid you bare
until daddy came along
and saw the leaves in your hair
Banking left
she sprays little clouds
and we ask, as she goes
why we never met
Moaning while pruning,
I find you
little man
slinking away from a fruit
you shouldn’t have eaten
in a season
it shouldn’t have known.
The fruit is the fruit
of God’s jumbo garden;
the season’s the season
of wisdom undone.
