Pomegranate in hand, eyes half-lidded, face flushed and mouth agape
Agape, Eros, Philia
Deep inhale, teeth splitting flesh, mouth stained red red red
Lapping, gnashing, lips tongue cheeks
Juice spilling down throat and chin, blood-scented breath
To dig fingers beneath peel, scarlet drying on skin
Knuckles and nails, vermillion grief
Fruit and teeth and red red red
Exhale
