 CHOCHO SEEDS


We played with the shiny red
black-tipped globes
because they were poisonous


and could be strung
into dangerous necklaces
seed-worlds
containing immense trees.


Separated and tossed, they foretold
future forests.


Recaptured and worn
against the skin
they became warnings


bright vessels
holding root-growth
the flowering possibility
of tree-nymph dreams
half human.



 Margarita Engle
