My Favorite Plum

My favorite plum hangs so far from me See how it sleeps and hear how it calls to me See how the flesh It must be bursting presses the skin, with secrets within, I've seen the rest, yes and that is the one for me See how it shines it will be so sweet I've been so dry See how it lays it would make my heart complete Never noticing me here below languid and slow I've seen the best, yes and that is the one for me Maybe a girl will take it Maybe a shake of the bough will wake it and make it fall My favorite plum Maybe a boy will steal it lies in wait for me I'll be right here You'll say that I'm longing endlessly foolish to trust But it will be mine cause I've had the rest, yes and I know that it must and that is the one for me and that is the one for meI've seen the best, yes
