You are light

and I am diaphanous glass
fragile prettiness only seen
when touched by your glow,
my luster fleeting and 
not lasting.

    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
