A repost and total reworking of one of my older poems
Collaboration by Wesley C and Darren White
Eat these grapes with sharp teeth,
This dripping pear with leaking juice,
This sour, sour lime…bittersweet.
The whirlwind mist sends some way;
The bird rises golden from itself.
See her fiery flight: graceful, anew!—
Drink in the steam of life!
All cold fingers keep warm
As shallow feelings cherish,
Feel flames sending tendrils of heat
To thaw your cold limbs
As winter wilts away.
Where deep, deep fear hides away!—
Where a Raven of despair lifts off:
Say never again. Say it over, never again:
Eat with ten feeling fingers,
This fruit of fortune given to you.
The tantalizing teases:
They are drunk with gulped thirst.
