The Persea Tree in the Orchard

The persea tree moves his mouth and speaks to me: "My pits are like her teeth. My fruit is like her breasts. I am the best of the trees in the orchard. I stand steadfast in all the seasons that lovers spend together.

They sit in my spreading shade While drunk with the wine of grape And pomegranate, while bathed In balm and moringa oil.

All the trees except for me have shed their leaves in the meadow. Only I flower all year in the garden. I've lasted. I've cast a blossom But have next year's blossom already within me."
