an embarrassment of fruit

We're living in a land 

of mangos green

yellow, rosy blush

fruit hangs heavy on boughs

pits scatter

littering the dusty roads

baskets mounded high

blazing bright in the sun

line the streets

next to tomatoes, onions

almost an embarrassment

of fruit, beside buckets filled 

with fresh fried fritters

sticky fingers rich 

with juice beckon flies

but oh, the sweetness

of ripe perfection

And God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth.” And it was so.  The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
