A Lemon
Out of lemon flowers
loosed
on t, loves
lasiable
essences,
sodden h fragrance,
trees yellow
emerges,
the lemons
move down
from trees planetarium
Delicate merchandise!
t-
bazaars
for t and the
barbarous gold.
e open
the halves
of a miracle,
and a clotting of acids
brims
into tarry
divisions:
creations
original juices,
irreducible, changeless,
alive:
so the freshness lives on
in a lemon,
in t-smelling he rind,
tions, arcane and acerb.
Cutting the lemon
the knife
leaves a little cathedral:
alcoves unguessed by the eye
t open acidulous glass
to t; topazes
riding ts,
altars,
aromatic facades.
So, whe hand
of the lemon,
half a world
on a trencher,
the universe
wells
to your touch:
a cup yellow
h miracles,
a breast and a nipple
perfuming th;
a flasage,
tive fire of a planet.
