Born a Pear

I was born a pear pluck’d from the bosom of nature,

And I shan’t forgive those who ripp’d me from my home.

When I knew I would be born,

I never expect’d to be struck from the lawn.

And when death comes,

At night, The sky ripen’d with many a sequin

Makes suns dance on my green and freckled skin.

With no love from their cart,

I sit, and let the roots enter my heart -

And allow the fungi to feed upon my philanthropic flesh.
