Appreciative Eyes

Earthen figs, blooming soil with leaves stiff leather fanned and bright Green desire, invisible sky with white cloud shadows in the whites of my eyes Papaya pulp, caviar seeds like the swollen thoughts of summer trees Warm the skin, juice the chin like orange blood from sea urchin seas Breath of lungs, sun begins to saturate kidneys and mush the mind Braided fern, dragonfly dance to float the air with swirling shine Hazel eyes, chameleon turn into what strikes their fancy on whims of light Trap this moment, bottle the earth What a gift, what a feast for my appreciative eyes...
