coconut tree

what once gleamed on the stall
like a fat pear in the rain
yesterday's work
is crumpled in the road

the sticky juice stained my neck
as I spat out the pips
free from the horror of safety
we changed on the sap

now I took your soul ?
but you turned DOWN the offer of mine ...
the liquid spark of your eye grows dim
beside the lights of my little desktop theatre
