i.
it’s curious how peaches ripen
with intention
just as a young cat comes
into heat
whether it wants to
or not
ii.
I found you caressing mushroom caps
on your knees
had I been a whale I would have put
you inside me
iii.
trees lift up their skirts
in response
eyeballing this assembly
of curves
you cultivate the ruined parts
of yourself
The most perfect title Graham. Fantastic poem!
“had I been a whale I would have put
you inside me” ~This is going to stay with me a whiles.
See you soon!
