NO GOD COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE HIGH TO A MAN THAN THE FRUIT OF HIS CHOICE

WHEN I WAS OUT ON EARTH A FEW WEEKS MY FATHER BESTOWED ON ME
A TEASPOON OF FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE
IN THAT INSTANT MY LUST FOR PLEASURE AND HEALTH WAS BORN

SINCE THIS DAY THE ORANGE IS MY COMPANION IN HAPPINESS
AND SOLITUDE UNDER VAST SKIES

HAIL THE ORANGE

FRUIT OF FRUITS
SUN ON EARTH

YOUR SAP IS MIGHTY

LIKE WITH ALL THINGS IN LIFE AND ESPECIALLY THE GOOD
THINGS ONE MUST HAVE THEM AT THEIR BEST
AN ORANGE THAT IS DRY IS DEATH
AND ITS REMAINDERING APPEAL IS PLATOS CAVE

IN DIRE TIMES
WHEN THREE HARVESTS ARE WITHDRAWN FROM THE SEED
IN ONE SINGE YEAR OF SPAIN
IN THE HOUSES OF GLASS WHERE EVIL DISIRS FLY
A TANGERINE IS AS GOOD AS GOLD
THE SPIRIT TO THE FATHER
HOLY ART THOU

THREE TANGERINES A MORN
AND MAN FINDS HIMSELF REBORN
IN THE SOUR PINCH OF THE METAL
IN THE TENDONS

APPLE, SANCTIMONIOUS FRUIT, HA!
FOR PIE ART THOU FIT
AND THE SHAPE OF A WOMANS REAR
IS WHERE THINE ESSENCE COMETH TO THE EYE
FOR GLOW AND CURVE ARE THINE
OLDEST COMPANION TO TRAVELERS
BLESSED ART THOU
AS A MAN EATS YOU DOWN TO THE PIT
OR IN THE WAFT ACROSS A HEATHEN FIELD
OR IN A BASKET OLD AS TIME ITSELF
CARRIED BY AN ONLY SLIGHTLY YOUNGER WOMAN
THROUGH THE CITY GATES
OR WHEN, AS IT FALLS, SOME SUBLIME EVENT TRANSPIRES IN THE FRONTAL LOBE OF A SIR
APPLE, VERSATILE ART THOU, FOOL-INVITING HEALTH
NEW FLESH
TENDER MEAT
NOW WE EAT

DATE
DARK FRUIT
SWEETNESS PROMISE OF THAT
WHICH IS TOO MUCH
ALREADY HAVING BEEN
AND IS READY FOR A NEW
FLESHLING

DATE
SEDUCTIVE FRUIT
PIT THAT WISHES TO BE SPAT
AT UNSATISFACTION

LIKE A DAGGER OUT OF A ZOMBIEKILLER

DATE
STRANGE FRUIT TO THESE PARTS
I BOW TO YOUR MIGHT
AND WELCOME YOUR BEAUTY
MAY THE CAMELS KEEP CARRYING YOU
THROUGH DESERTS UNTIL
THE SUN NO LONGER RISES

PLUM
MOST LUSTFUL
BALANCE IS ACQUIRED BETWEEN SOFT AND SATURATION

AN EMPTY PLUM
IS MERE WATER
NO ILL TASTE
CAN A PLUM ACQUIRE
FOR SHE IS TASTE ITSELF

WHEN A PLUM ROTS
IT BECOMES ITSELF
SMILING IN CONTEMPT UP TO MAN

PLUM, BE

This is fucking great.
