I’m thankful
For the way you’ve always left me
Feeling a tad more whole
And much more satisfied
I’m thankful
For your resiliency to love
Even with those
Who once teetered back and forth on the menu
As if you were an option
I’m thankful
For your flexibility
And your inevitable ability to satiate
Whatever I’m in the mood for
I wonder
If we’ll ever
Be separated
By the wall or another ban
Making it harder
To get my hands on you
I guess
I’ll never understand
How you can leave me
Itching with discomfort
Yet still have me craving you again at the dinner table
But I know for sure
Your soft green insides
And rough exterior
Will always have me
Coming back
For more.
To my favorite fruit, the avocado. I love you.
