goes the fly around the rotting mango
as I push-pin notes into its supple flesh.
One note reads: I planted a tree in honor of our love!
Another: I had a miscarriage.
You will never read these notes
as we lost touch years ago
and I will plant my paper fruit
next to the tree and pray it offers
strength to our shrine; what we lacked
to keep our love alive.
