Poison Apples

poison apples
taste sweeter
with sugar

salt in an open wound
tickles
if you close your eyes

and lies are the truth
if you stand
on your head

[Baby Ricochet]

I love the last stanza. It kinda reminds me of a fortune cookie.

Each passage rests on its own canvas of thought... pain mingled in pleasures... a mind playing tricks on itself... a world gone mad... or a world gone sane. Now, which is it I wonder? Stunning.
