1.

strawberries are tiny

cunts

furled up into            themselves

beneath a sheaf

                        of leaves,

slumbering until ripe.

2.

bananas have a

phallic grace

                        sheathed in

a hard smooth skin

curve to the tip

                        and

                s

               q

Mouth

in your mouth

i heard the             muffled roar

of ocean

as you curved

against me

                      purpled as fruitskin

about to burst.
