A violet Geode,
crystalline.
Puffs out its chest,
Lifts itself
to a palm.
Brown sugar
bruises
call forth
clammy beads of yolk.
Sovereign sap
exalted
on the alter
between mouth and nose.
That marbled pearl of nectar
proclaims itself ambrosia
before it bows
from the teeth,
swan-like.
A mecca
from lip to chin.
