Future Fruit

There are blossoms
and blossoms

Some gaudy about
Shiaparelli pink
and bright yellow
bustiers
hiking up skirts
for bees
waving stamens
all fishnets
and 6 inch heels
take my pollen
bigfella?

winter hungover
they bumble past

But I watch
my virgin trees
even this year
the tiny
tight green buds
will debut
and
might
turn into
greengages and cherries
if I get there before the
paparazzi snap of
birds
