Day For You (4) Poem by Elna Nel

it's an avocado hour in the bye
with oils in colours to please the eye
pluck from the finite tree
of life given given to lie
green in time growth in mime
a theatre-filled fruit-acting sky
still on the stage of your tummy tie
avocado eye shears darkness
into light a sparkle in the right
direction watched from above
protected from behind and beneath
spreaded wings sprawl out of grey
a green dove with oil on its wings
left in front a spectacle of growth
gathered as a gifted avocado sky
in yellow beige ready for another
unmasked page not betrayed
