pineapple, not of this earth |
To Jasmine Albritton
The blue of this artichoke is from Venus
Pedunculated, milky sapphire,
Bittersweet to the bite
The green of this pineapple is from Saturn
A fast-moving composite of yellow and blue
Keen to outrun the radio signals from 1947
The poetry from Jasmine's assignment is from Jupiter
So like the girl, one wide eye turned ever toward
The nowhere and everywhere of the star-pierced universe.
