the fig tree

between employment
and coffee
there is a fig tree
pedestaled
and I know from personal report
wept over
martyred for
in front of mayors and officials
suffered to stay
this
my personal fruit vendor
humbly connected to earth
as I can only hope to be
aspiring skyward
and as creative and generous
as I would ever wish
green figs
thin skinned
fragile
I like to just cradle them
tell them my heart secrets
I feel they relate
being of like constitution
some blush
simple beautiful curves
perfectly feminine
inside- an exquisite mystery
embarrassing to view
out in the open
mostly overlooked- that is my favorite part
this fig tree
is an open secret
bearing gifts only
for those who seek it.

Big Messy

It aint happening.
Talk all you want. Spin it out. And yarn it back.
Knock yourself out.
But it aint happening.
Tantrum. Shout. Jump up and down.

Do your best- At doing your worst.

It aint happening.
Not with the Big Messy. Not anymore. Not like that.
So when you are ready. Tired. Give out.
You let me know.

We’ll call in The Big Guns.
Small as photons.
Quite as mice.
