What I really want to be
Is a wild orange tree
Growing in the warm dust
Of life’s sweet lust.
Here in
I want to grow roots
I want my ripe fruits
To fall on brown earth and take seed,
Not sleep on this street and rot
Kicked into the sea,
Stolen for souvenirs,
For ornaments to hang on a different kind of tree.
What I really want to be
A wild orange tree
Growing in the holy dust
Watching heaven rust
Free.
