Wounded Fruit

Andrew L. Miller

This fruit cries, mourning lost comfort;
severed from her vines. Bitter about life,
as fallen seedlings sprout into tainted potential.
The roots whistle, their harmonic rhymes souring the soil.
Hidden bones moan, awaken from temporary graves.
Roses die by the blade, hearts rot as un-wed slaves;
chained by a lovers heated gaze. Dry near a running eye,
caught in the moonlight trying to survive. We fly as the pedals
fall from the sky, broken from the impact of one life spilling into the after.
