citrus

slicing through the hardened rind

the blade meets meat

carving through flesh inside


taking a slice each,

soft skin gets stuck between

slabs of yellowing teeth


that will chew, grinding down

even into peel

the curling crown


of our citrus flesh,

the fumbling fat fingers,

too quick to undress


unripe fruit that people take

into hands, their thread

and needle penetrate


Our parts and sew our holes shut

To hide the crimes

of indulging in us


in fruit, i prise open the hole

and cut through stitches

so i am unable to forget


how much i hate them all
