Mia Mango<\/h1>\n

by Brandon Ward<\/p>\n

Mia Mango,
\nRipe to a family
\nOf thistle and weeds.
\nFruitful in her skin,
\nSmooth,
\nHairing like a new
\nBorn.
\nTwinning mangoes
\nAt a young age
\nGrow wise at a sun
\nSeen soft by a sister
\nRooted above.
\nMia Mango,
\nCore as solid as trust,
\nTruthful in sight.
\nSprung from the depths
\nOf stationary sand traps.
\nBeached in the back-tracking
\nOf a wave.
\nKissed,
\nSalty in wind on a sour day.
\nShaded by I,
\nThe Sequoias.
\nThe tall in striking
\nPassion.
\nMia Mango,
\nGrip of a hand,
\nPerfection in buds.
\nBlending of no bias,
\nNo sound of a killing joy.
\nTaste of sweet lust
\nIn a choking hour,
\nWashed,
\nSoaked into my skin
\nIs the juice of your
\nupbringing.
\nSoaked into my lips
\nIs the juice of a
\nNight in safety.
\nA night where no
\nDreams sever short
\nIn climax to the sound
\nOf you,
\nSnapping like a thick
\nBranch to a passing,
\nBreaking to the swift
\nLine of teeth that is
\nThat of the midnight
\nHunter.
\nThat which is guided
\nIs no different in want.
\nSilent,
\nClosing in like banks
\nOf fog in the whistling
\nOf a death.
\nMia Mango,
\nGrown from horrors
\nOf drought to a lovers
\nTiring clutch.
\nYou,
\nSister of twinning mangoes,
\nI bite you strengthening all wonder till
\nYou are all that is
\nInside me.
\nPlace you in the
\nStitching that hovers
\nOver this chemical imbalance.
\nPocket buldging out
\nBy the thump of this
\nPure nut,
\nI will plant your grace
\nIn this lover’s garden
\nAnd never be without
\nIn another sunrise.
\nThis perfect fit of senses,
\nRejoicing.
\nMia Mango,
\nMy Mango.<\/p>\n
