The Book of Difficult Fruit

nature, Personal Reflection 1 Minute 
loropetalum
against the beat of light
she stands 
trooper tall

a thrumming ladder 
for the prisms inside
the book
of difficult fruit

my eye let fall
these sachets of glitter
pain refracted 
a purple glow
such gentle edges

see how she stands 
to bruise / to bleed

the beat of light
plum gorgeous

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
