Sweet Earth

You smell of
Sweet earth
Like cucumber root
Like petrichor
You bloom
Like okra blossoms
Like lily of the Nile
In royal attire
Your thoughts
Are deeply rooted
They are lush and verdant
Greeting the sun
You taste
Of a vineyard in summer
Of pomegranate
Of the sweet of the comb
You feel
Like eternity’s companion
Like a thousand infinites
Held in one soul.
