I say inspire me baby, and you did.
Inside youthful lemon, lime rotund flesh sees
Fruity love so I bring you art to taste
Universal seeds from a family of
Cauliflowers
Voids that expand, ripen
to sprout and bloom.
Organic orgasmic,
roots and tides
Quenched under moonlit
pathways to grow
Smug night emerald:
verdant breath
by leaf with bronchial veins.
Spiral of conch, star formation and Fibonacci mathematical theories
Patterns to follow to ancient astrology, sacred geometry,
Divisions that are a part of a
Whole.
“In this is infinity” you say.
I nod and admire the spiral.
Wonder about the arrow of time.
Trouble breeds with territory and consistency but
The cauliflower will never wager war because we’ll eat it first,
Take a leaf out of your sprout.
Captive cabbage from a dream

This photo was taken in 2003 by my college room-mate’s mother, a photographer of fruits and vegetables for the Oxford Art Show. When she got word that I was writing my Creative Writing dissertation on fruit, nut and vegetable poetics, she gifted me this image. It first appeared at the Oxford Art Show, England. (2003) I cannot remember her name.
