Alphabet Fruit

see this world fold into the next

dog-eared mountaintops

shaded spine valley

page as unending, unheeding landscape

rich fertile soil bearing alphabet fruit

picked, eaten, digested, divulged

a path opens in the foliage

– a beginning, a title

    Awesome title! Sounds like the name of a poetry book.
