POETRY IS WHAT THE SOULS OF THE ANCIENTS SPEAK TO THOSE STILL SEEKING WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. FROM: LINDA

Spoiled Fruit


It was hard to confront that black banana.

My days away from home had changed the shape

and I’m sure the taste.

The other fruits looked no better.

All were dried and shrinking fast.

but, there’d been no time for the fridge.

And as his skin will now follow the way of the fruit,

the idea of spoiled fruit and a now spoiled life 


is still too much to bear.
