if i were to lose you

 

it would be in

handfuls of plums

from the fruit basket,

the last piece bruised,

but worth the keep.

i’d hold it in my hands

the tiny tender heart

i’d take a bite

and then

another.

and after i’d made it

to the pit

i would crack every tooth

because you told me

once:

that every thing

i’ve always

longed for

is buried in the

hardest parts

of me.
