I see mango trees all around me,
the only fruit on the island.
Their colours seduce me.
This is the rainbow I wanted.
The one I asked my Mother for.
I thought She'd forgotten
but She was listening all along,
knitting it into Her quilt.
Teeth sink into orange flesh
and a million orgasms explode
in my mouth.
Sticky fingers.
Full belly.
Appeased tongue.
My hands run over
the rough-smooth texture
of the oldest mango tree
as she bears
her last fruit.

About this blog right here. Uh huh...
Some people call my luv of mangoes 'a fetish'. Meh. I say it's gone way beyond that! This blog's my homage to the succulent fruit - memoirs, poetry, random thoughts, pics & anything mango-related I can get my tongue on.

DID YOU KNOW?
...that in Hinduism, the mango tree is considered to be sacred because Prajapati, the Lord of Creatures, was changed into a mango tree.
