The Broad-Handed Fig Leaf

Glamorous hand, you give me
tremors. Plants terror my eyes
with apparent green perfection.

The temptation for defection
riles me toward
the tree and the soil:

What's the exchange rate in flora
for a fauna?

Will my one even
get me to one?

Megafauna


inflation!

Me? I'll be
a trillion parts
one day and may
bee pollenate

the invisible blossom
at fig heart.
