Symbol of life: The tree of life.
Many artists walked around it
Admired it
Drew and painted it
Whatever fruit it bore
Bitter quince
Or pomegranate sweet.
Like women who came forward
In the life of an artist:
Sweet or sour pussies.
Have you experienced
Sweet rose-red petals or
Powder blue coves?
A peek into the lost garden
Of Eden?
Or into the red-tide beaten
Oyster banks?
Whatever.
In between rose-red petal’s
Sweet scented folds
The poet danced around the
Specific tree of life
His Muse crowned with
Olive leaves
Silvery and dusty green
A vessel for rich ripe fruit
Peaches and green apples
Chanting songs of poets
To the tree of life.
