FIG LEAF

Key Notes: Fig Leaf. Petitgrain. Orange Blossom. Osmanthus. Musk.

Characteristics: Juicy green, ribbon strewn braids, afternoon confessional, romance movement, sheer luminosity

taste is not taste, but a threshold 
a language of wet green,
and the swift unlearning
of all you were taught about lightness.
we do not yield to light,
we couple with it,
spin into a single body of ‘yes’
where roots are not roots
but nervous lovers' hands
loosening the earth’s blouse
with the skill of a seamstress
to weave a bed for your becoming.
