Once
the papaya trees stood
Standing
tall in the neighbour's garden
The
months it took to grow to the height
Bearing
fruits displaying to the eyes
The
constant dark clouds and strong wind
One
day it was tilted and fell to one side
One
papaya tree leaned against the balcony wall
Holding
it for its dear life
The
owner didn't do anything
He
left the papaya tree leaned on it
Maybe
it was the papayas
He
didn't want to lose
Now
the leaning papaya tree
It
knows it is time to go
How
long it has to lean on the balcony wall?
Maybe
a month or two before it falls
