Nectar MAG
September 4, 2018
the tree teases with her abundance, beckoning,
“i bear what you desire.”
eager children inhabit her branches,
held by her limbs as by their mothers.
she offers and asks nothing in return.
hasty arms reach into the myriad of green, searching,
hands grabbing for the product of her hard work.
vibrant gems plucked from her branches,
teeth break delicate skin and
what was searched for has been found.
