Baobab Fruit
The magic hour of nightfall approaches
We follow the avenue of the baobab trees
to the home whose hidden history cries
like a nightingale in the forest of dreams
The path between the old souls
made of wood is cool and dark
as the black forest on a gothic evening
under the howl of a hyena moon
The sky has a salmon-pink tint
and the lemony perfume is from the baobab fruit
whose sunbeam egg was laid by the snake goddess
when gargoyles presided over a kingdom of totems
Milky Way meringue
of nest eggs in her eye
a dragon’s sky
