Fig



A violet Geode,
crystalline.

Puffs out its chest,
swollen to a proud bloat.

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.
