Planet Basket

Blueberry:
Earth in miniature

Delectable whole
From tartest poles
To sweetest core
Splash of ocean on the tongue
Blue spume into my cavernous cosmos
Juice into the void

Banana:
The gigantic crescent moon has swallowed
The sun and splayed its rays
From end to end and spotless
If peeled your white returns
But the craters have all smoothed
Your sheen reflects my loneliness
We fill each other's holes

Orange:
Ten thousand groves of goddesses
Converge inside my mouth
Florida itself floats in this ocean
All-encompassing
My saliva glazes the sea
All vessels straggle homeward
Yellow delirium
Unconquerable sun
