The Tree of Life
I hold his arms and gaze down,
reminded of how much an erect penis
looks like a lone tree standing naked of its leaves
as if seeking to draw life’s essence into its pours.
His shaft is beautiful, and its swollen crown is like a canopy.
It is rooted at the base of his smooth, firm torso.
For me this is the tree of life, the only life I will ever know.
This tree brought me into the world.
This tree has been the object of all earthly lusts.
And earthly is all there is for me.
This is a physical world and mine will end soon enough.
I move close and lick the smooth trunk of this tree with
a resolve to live another day.

Commenting Preference:
The author encourages honest critique.
Title alone is suggestive enough! Makes me think of the legendary Nullarbor Plain in Australia which has only one tree! Which leads to rhyme in mind (with monogamous head on):
Only one tree?
Enough for me!
Only one tree?
Enough for me!
