Pomegranate HeartA Poem by Dan HerahOh how precious! Aren’t you my honey-filled cupcake.
The golden China vase was broken, the
yellow sap wasn’t enough to glue shut the tree’s wound.
Don’t you worry about that heart of
yours. It will heal.
Spit on your hands, rub them hard, you will need to hold the blue glass
eyes firmly. Graphite floor, now all you need is a
paper to write down your envy and drown it in
the crystal river. Crystal river made of real, large
crystals of water, of ice.
Were you searching for the large
emeralds in the deep blue sea?
The water is always brighter when
you’re shallow. Take my apple juice, I like cocktails except
I don’t like your face.
Like when you turn to the right and
look mature. Take it off.
Wear your pink sweater, white shirt, blue
pants.
They see through the fancy colors of
your skin, when it turns from red to white as they throw smooth round
stones where their lies slip off. In the crystal river, an ice
shard cut you deep in the right pinkie.
It’s alright, He will be there for you
when you don’t expect it.
I thank thee master, let your spirit
rejoice in my house but keep your black cat
out. I am allergic to their odor of betrayal when it
stretches and scratches the post. The way Molly does except her beating heart
is full of confidence. She reclaimed her land with yellow
liquid on top of round dark-brown stones. She is my role model
and he my barbed wire. Bless your heart, it is like a pomegranate. © 2015 Dan Herah |
