sweet

once,the Natural-
in fruit and foods homegrown
(swing with it,o monkey banana!
village makes its own

larger now-abstraction
SWEETNESS a brand name(sold!
Made in Factory-even when "organic"-
stevia,saccharine,Hallmark,poem
a distance sets in,settles in
(river ceases to flow)

searching for rainbows
sometimes requires storms
to get to peace through wars

the bell sounds in a distant monastery
silence @pre-dawning./sweetness!
