Born (Low Hanging Fruit)

He was borne on a branch

The low hanging fruit

Of the curse 


The bushel that hung from nails

Trellising tight stems to the frame

Spurs offering spurts of pyrrole red 

Cherry blood

Staked out for us

Coagulate cluster

Free falling water

Berry blue thread veins beneath 

Pluck the pickings

As you pass the tree

The juice flows free


The low hanging fruit

The cursed and the crushed

The pulp and the plumes

Pick the pluckings,

You can reach if you stand on your toes.

You will not surely die?


Eat, if you dare.

I Was Made For The Mountains

My Soul was made for the Mountains My Body for the Swamp My Heart shall live in the Highlands And my flesh do what it wants  I was not made ...
