What are these fruits
But sparking electricities?
Plum’s song —
Swollen with noon heat.
Bursting, purple flesh
Then scatter.
Into these cages,
Breaking the brightness against the sound of the body.
Flesh against flesh —
To spill the juice from the fruit;
Whet the dawn ground.
Come again,
Met with brief milk
Thrown from skins.
