And they do push it

Do you realize how much effort it takes to be innocent?

Still, another tease.

Fine.

Pomegranate?

Each seed only lasts for awhile?

Pomegranate, I find beating the outter before cutting into it allows each morsel to fall away obediently a wee trick I learnt in Turkey. Gratification...suffering great all small is always attached. Great piece :) R xo

You can also cut off the ends of the pomegranate, and peel it. Fun little write, and I am glad you liked it.

Innocence.....does it even exist? It vanishes in a heartbeat and we don't realize how precious it actually is.

[Jon Roggie]

I often think we are surprised in our moments of innocence, barely recognized.

instant gratification...but we suffer for it later....

Another reason to try to make things last.

anyone who tastes of the fruit of Hades must remain in the underworld, we hunger in the winter cause that chicks hunger was so great she had to go suck on a seed..lmao

I think it was her way of giving her mother some time off.

Could be :)

Pomegranate is painful to eat. Requires a lot of patience, and the reward only lasts a moment with each seed. Unless you scoop the seeds and eat the them all at once. Then it's over quickly.
Could this be a metaphor for love?

[Jon Roggie]

Now, let us think about this.
When do I talk about love?

[Papaya]

When you crave coffee?

[Jon Roggie]

The need for coffee may be a baser emotion.

This one goes back to Persephone.
