fruit
we sway in the wind
but i grasp the air
in hopes it can sweep me from this branch
this branch-
preserving the purity of my skin-
is forced to let me fall
i rip from the loosening grip of my cluster
a wound on my side-
evidence of a new chance-
gifted by violent departure
i feel the air on my palms
i smash into the ground
mud covers my face.
i gaze up to the branch-
my past shimmers in the glaring sun.
a blue bird flies overhead
her beauty exerts itself effortlessly over my grime.
she parades her freedom
as the mud hardens under the kiln of the sun
i signal to the bird.
recognizing my flare, she glides to my side
and picks me apart
as i lay here-
opened up to this beast-
i listen to her speak
her tongue mumbles a foreign language
one that doesnt wish things away
a language learned from experiences
observed in her fulfilled juvenility
when all that is left
is the muddy skin on my back,
i sink into the earth
decaying for more time than i ever spent on a branch
why would i ever
excuse myself from youth to preserve my expiration?
i forfeit my experience then,
to gain a lonely breath here
Blue
berries
on the vine.
Gift of Nature.
Unrefined fresh fruit,
unwashed, eaten just so.
Option to blend special treats –
muffins, smoothies, cobblers, and pies.
Scrumptious splendor, sweet summer surprise.
tantalizing treat

Plunking two twin babies down in the berry patch now
They are being stared at by some animals, namely a cow.
She is watching them closely, more curious than a cat.
They look up into her eyes and want to play patty-cake-pat.
This spring air is great to get the twins ready for a nap.
I should take one too, it would sure be a snap.
They rarely sleep all night, and I am needing more sleep.
I watch them dig around in the berries, but do not make a peep.
Berry, berry
Quite contrary
How do you grow?
Berry, berry
Quite contrary
Many would like to know
Down in Georgia, way down
Two trees stood on the ground
One weighed down with sticks, bottles, and all sorts of stuff
The other stood alone, beautiful and virtually untouched
Two worlds and just one ground
One full and the other barren, with a few lying around
Mulberry and Chinaberry
One sweet and the other quite contrary
juniper berry
spirited gentian blue seed ~
purple finch flickers
Blueberry makes you blue
Blackberry makes you black
Raspberry makes you rasp
Cowberry makes you a cow
touching hands with you
raising my arm to meet your fingertips and smile at the soft tingle
bitter berries sit on the edge of the window
fog pulling us closer together
i hope you remember me forever
even if forever isn't long enough for us
Supari raped Berry repeatedly,bound,and gagged her in the basement.
The next day,her seventeenth birthday,he gave her food and a shower,
then locked her back in the dark basement with only a TV for company.
Two days later,he chained her in an upstairs bedroom with a trash can
for a toilet.In the first six days,she was raped at least twenty-five times.
The weeks went by,each day like the last,spent alone,punctuated by
multiple saxual assaults,a diet of once-a-day junk food,and occasional
breaks when Supari let her watch TV with him downstairs.Zafar almost
strangled her while telling her he did not want to kill her,he just had a
saxual problem he was satisfying by repeatedly raping her.(SUPARI)
Note.Zafar Khan Supari loves to satisfy his diik by injecting Chick..
Berry elf, oh berry elf, cha, cha, cha.
Sitting on the limb-like shelf, rah, rah, rah.
You step so lightly, with the skill of a flea.
I hope you will come past the leaves and sit by me.
I am straddling a limb, waiting for you to notice me.
I am the faerie with the gold leaves; my name is Bree.
Berry elf, oh berry elf, cha, cha cha.
I would like to get to know you. Do you like to draw?

Berry Berry sweet Berry.
I wish to have your taste early
your warm hug in the morning cold
makes me rise so strong and bold
At dawn when all men rise
To examine the stars with the eye of the wise
I long for you,
my sweet berry.
I yell to the winds, "Oh, winds, carry me."
Carry me to the land of the west
to the place of the beauty and best
Whose love so sweet and better to taste
in both slow motion and sweeter in haste
I miss my Berry, my only Berry
On whose laps am so light to carry.
Her skin is soft and so tender to touch
Her chest is soft, even plusher than the couch.
The left and the right teeth divide in a gap
oh, when I see that, I never nap
Her round, appealing hunch is a plus.
Her curving crus terminates in a plush.
Without you I can breathe
without you my heart has to bleed
I just in dreams that I can’t believe
I say, without you, life can’t be lived.
come back to me and revive my heart.
I promise to keep you just in my heart.
