The choir that cannot die.
Fish and fennel. Snow. Christmas
tree, clover and pomegranate.

For all she's gladdened: milk
which is love dreaming in one
hand; clefts of clementine stain

the other. They cannot die,
these tribal ornaments, coral
joy, battering ceramic, peach

bones. Scotch bonnet seeds.
She then belts her savage choir
and dances herself into a festival.
