The Flavor Of A Morning Fig Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

The Flavor Of A Morning Fig



My flesh tastes of the dew
and morning sun.
My ear delights in the cackle
of the mallard ducks.

I hear the anguished call
of the green heron
disturbed by my appearance.
But it is the sinuous curve.

of the 100-foot palm trunk
with at its top
a swaying bush of fronds
that turns me on.
