Plum Crazy by Mike Zone

T’was a plum, plum

red plum- downhearted

purple plum- sweet n’ dribblin’ juicy

dried plum- prune ecstasy

slick smooth skin

fruit meat tendrils

stuck in my death

rejuvenation teeth

seed at the center

remnants of consumed life

hanging

water and dirt

don’t a living bring us

what we want

dust of days

being plum

plum dandy, plum mordant, plum pleased
