Look at the third stanza:

O, to take what we love inside,

to carry within us an orchard, to eat

not only the skin, but the shade,

not only the sugar, but the days, to hold

the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into

the round jubilance of peach.

What type of figurative language is "to carry within us an orchard, to eat"

metaphor

allusion

hyperbole

simile
