This is very nicely done. I like what you have done with the breaks between stanzas, and the ending picking up on the abandoned village/abandoned individual is strong.
I was thinking what a great metaphor the village you created was. It allows the fig to take on even more meaning. Cheers!
I really liked this poem. The "roof of the church caved in and all houses mere shells" combined with "sun flailing the grey rocks" makes me think the "narrow path" is near the Mediterranean Sea in a country once compared to this ripe fruit.
And how utterly erotic! You have a talent for suggestion which makes non-erotic subjects sizzle, and makes erotica hotter than ever,
