strange Fruit

flesh of peach
     like muscle wrapped 'round bones that frame a soul

a peach spoils
     flesh rots
the seed cracks
     awake
something emerges
     feeling its way
marching relentless
     possessed by purpose
nourished by light and liquid
      a force of nature
a force through nature
      the same that manifests in love
and decay
    
I propose
     this force drove and consumed tupac
same force mandela tamed and made peace
     my mistakes are many
and they incline to repeat
     repetition the father of learning
so mine must be complete

     when shall I bear fruit
