your pomegranate heart

Jon Nakapalau

is cut wide open by your lover

but you feel not the pain of the cutting
each honeycombed chamber a bleeding jewel

that could never have released this sweetness now
if left whole and inside a crimson shell that was stillness

till this lesson of division and release drowns all your seasons.
