six seeds

a brief allusion to the tale of persephone.

---

to open a ripe pomegranate 

one must kiss its flesh gently with a blade

coaxing it to peel open and inside

inside

you see its glistening drops of garnet 

you wonder if its juices taste bitter

you think to yourself, how foolish she was
