I am now folding back
The layers of the meaning
Hackneyed; pair of hearts
contiguously beating

Contemplative, and politely tucking in to vinefruit
Skin tight, pulp hard, but hear tell of delights
Compelling unrepentant flights of reverie
No slaves to formality should we find us
Crushing likewise confides arils to feed
Grip the prickling vines, open wide for toxic berry
Gorging for what surfeit allows me to know
Though poison, veins carry
Arriving by ways the physical to mind,
Through cord in canal in waiting
Then, impulse is dead, dangerous notion is waning
Of plucking out of mere curiosity
Desperation in this paradox, to satisfy insatiability

Peel the rind of inquisition
Unfold the layers of meaning
Hackneyed trope of hearts
Contiguously beating
