The Avocado Tree Poem by sharon wildey

The Avocado Tree



I planted my brokenness under an avocado tree today
Fertilized it with my self-critic that I shot between the eyes last week
And buried in my compost heap
For just such an occasion
As an avocado tree
With its rich soft fruit
Protected by a tough skin
Eat one every day
To be healthy
The new apple
Johnny Apple seed and me
