Succulent

luscious

ripened to perfection,

ripped from the maternal pouch.

Let them settle

nestle

wrestle,

in your gut,

grow tendrils –

pink pastels

fuschia fronds

lilac leaves  –

a forest of ferns

inside your bowel

bustling with bouquets,

a breeding swamp

of lush tasty spawn

ready to be harvested  . . .

and added to the menu.
