Orlando's Garden

Sep 24, 2008 11:14

I want to be naked in bed
Doused in sunflower dreams
Honeydew melons at my head
Green beans at my feet

Let roses sprout from my eyes
Violets from my mouth
Foxglove from my palms
My toes become raspberries
And rabbits nibble at my lettuce-knees
My fingers dig deep into the earth
Become carrots for the next harvest
My hair sprawls behind me
Whip-like vines across the grass
And the strongest of oaks
Takes root between my legs

I have become Orlando's garden

I want to be naked in bed
My breasts the last human thing about me
