INSPIRATION

INSPIRATION

You planted
A seed
In the palm
Of my hand.
One seed,
The glad sun
Caressed
And awoke;
One word
You spoke
And a story
Took hold;
Threw glad
Leaves out
Sprouted
And pouted
Flirty flowers;
Exploded

In ripe globes 

Of sweetness
Desirous of
Devouring mouths
Hungrily uttering
The sound
Of one seed
One word
You spoke
And I heard.


Manuela Cardiga
