My Love Is a Palm Tree

My Love Is a Palm Tree


My Love Is a Palm-Tree 

			Who’s she?
		A palm-tree lofty head to which the morning sun
first pays homage 
before it falls 
on earthly faces;

Who’s she?
A palm-tree shapely bosom where overnight dew
into manna grows;

Who’s she?
Twain palm-tree open palms 
grace-fully fanned 
for a homely hug;

Who’s she?
A palm-tree whose sweetest freshest sap
quenches my sirocco thirst;

Who’s she?
A palm-tree to whose sight
 	I owe my seeing;
A palm-tree to whose parts
 I owe my all.
