Notes About The Poem

OF DRIED AND TIRED SEEDS

 

Having failed

To turn

Our vineyard

Into a graveyard

Of raisins in sun,

They now

Seek to pluck away,

Ripe black plums

To grave the soil

With wrinkled,

Laden prunes:-

 

(Guess 

            they 

                   failed

                             the  

                                   watermeleon  

                                                        lesson):

 

Earthly green;

Blood-red flesh;

Multiple black seeds:-

 

Indeed, we are

Children of

The Father

Of the sun

And the Son:

Fertilized  

And energized

By the 

Cosmic spirit–

Resurrecting

Generations 

Of dried

And tried seeds–

Germinating 

Liberated 

Blooming 

Freedom flowers

In the sun: 

Bouqueting 

Thanks

Seek to pluck away,
Ripe black plums
