Poems - the grape

the grape

by alana

somewhere in the middle of noon
i had audacity enough
to ransack the refrigerator
and lo it was empty
except for a handful of grapes
dying and drying to raisins

somehow the hand had to
and the mouth too
gulp of grape
stuck with seed
inside of throat

oh mama, save me, cough cough
oh mama, saved me, cough cough
watered down me and my gown
cough gasp cough cough

oh mama, you planted a grape seed
inside of me, oh me, oh my, indeed
the grape may be of wrath
what is to be, oh mama tell me
will it vine around and round
inside of me, curl tendrils
to tickle the hell out of me

oh mama, the seed of grape
inside of me, growing to be
a wine from the green vine
that grows inside of me

oh, mama mama, do something
save me save me, no no no
not the spade, not the sickle
oh somebody save me
my mama has eaten
the grapes of wrath
now she is here to get me

oh mama dear darlin
heed me, deseed me
don't kill me, save me

wicked mama smiled and said
"darlin alana that grape was seedless
you gotta believe in me"
oh, mama mama, mama-wickedness
runs in our family
first comes the tiger
and then you, after that
helpless me,

oh mama mama, your seed the me
