To spy between thighs of hibiscus at her drooping petals
she scorches the eye with unshuttered exposure.
Even avocados tilt down and blush mauve
behind dimple-skin envy. She lay
like a platter straddling sky,
as bees swim into petals
behind screens wet with dew, then stumble
like drunks on the moon. Alabaster
folds nudge wings and antennae:
the insect world
swoons in her thickening lap.
