Strange Fruit




STRANGE FRUIT
 
To you dark blackberry succulent dreamer,
I bring you my strawberries of romance,

My blueberry stained fingers,

My bitter lemons of transcendence,

My red cheeked apples of exultation,
 
My purple laden vines of the night,
 
My crushed raspberry hopes

My pungent lime ecstasies.
 
My consummate deliciousness

And juicy tender lips.
 
Strangely desirous to know
 
The earth is a good earth.
