exoticism

grey eyes
stare, openly
at the flesh of elephant plums
raw and hanging, dripping with a sour earthiness
open your fists, green guava
soon dropped upon the shore
of a tall-tiered world, singing of poverty and praises
now, the sea and our desert beckon us again,
and we leave
with our sticky hands
and sweet gazes
