Inspired by the video where he explains the meaning of his name Tenoch. Tenoch is the cactus fruit. Tuna. Very sweet and delicious fruit. Caution ⚠️ peal the fruit before eating. Enjoy!
If someone can share it with Tenoch it would make my year! Thank you!!!
Cactus Fruit
While my name is a flower
I was never meant to make
Or have the power
to create
An orchid blossom in the desert
Because I was supposed to
create a cactus
Nopales
Agave
Pinos y
Huizaches
Shifting from a gardener
to a landscaper
Transitioned to a foreigner
Where people escaped her
So I learned how to grow tunas.
Vegetating comestible fruit
My love feeds the roots
Bajo cada luna
Spikes emerge
Stiff and strong
Pink blushes deeper
Until
Someone who is courageous enough
Enticed with the fruit’s intensity
Will take a bite
Savor its complexity
And divine difficult plight
That brought it life
Simtulating each papillae
For a unique profile
Which another cannot replicate
In soft soils, without smiles.
