Olive Tree

[Shem]

I find it to be more allegorical as the poem takes you on a complete adventure from start to finish under the guise of a relationship to an olive tree, which may without its hidden agenda be, let's say, a sensual foray that while suggestive, is not actually applying metaphor explicitly in part or parcel. However many olives, are not compared to anything, but are presented as part of an image created, I believe this is allegory. I found it not only beautiful, but of nature provocative under its veil. Heat would be Hestia- hearth fires, virginal, the antithesis of Aphrodite.
