hidden fruit

 

he had been and continues

to be a fruit hidden behind leaves

but ripe and sweet as any other

fruit, visible or sparkling

though like any other he glows

with gloss, men and women

and children with prejudices

for the transgender has mistaken

and he is considered a root

good only to hold the tree

from falling while other fruits

to be praised go to the market

the fruit

the fruit in my hand

is for love i like to expand
but i hesitate to give
for there is a worm inside

the skin shines with colour

multiple and the wave within me grows
larger but i will, very soon, yield
for the sake of the seed

hidden, deeply buried within
to grow, to give
more fruits for my hand
and songs for all around
