Almonds

what in a nut makes it so attractive
to crush the velvet green under the shade of the tree
a stone in hand I go for it and produce the taste of milk

and run for the apricots on the next tree
the jujubes will wait as they are not ready
for the pilferage of a good child

sated I lay on the dunes and start digging the tunnel of my future
going nowhere but the abundance of china as I remove the tags 
from the porcelain in my life
