Fertility

Fertility, excess,
I know in me the whole seed process of everything
enlightening the sun to new distances.

  and I am famished for attention.
  and the conditions are still not right.
  still you blame me for

my lack of demand - "Go Make The Conditions" -

  but alas, I cannot. I am a man
  but (will you ever believe me?)
  Fertility 

is what I am. Not who, but what.
