Tree of Knowledge
near the ball court of Dzibanche
He looked down so to number fruits on the wide-spread bough
beautiful tempters did you lure to them?
yet low
sub-luminary to the fresh high-metered Ceiba
long-thought bough knowledge-vowed bough
it bloomed and fruited low swollen with humming thrum
loaded heavy fertile fruits weeping and ripe and juice-oozing
( it is viscous! )
peripheral
the heron and mango and mangrove
hold a place for the atmosphere of effortless
forgiveness and wonder
(we will be there! )
to appear
and so he was pleased with what he had made
rustle monkey late mist sacbe glistening
came then no day of Judgement
he didn’t even need to say it:
let the white owl descend
blessed bee
