The Lemon Rind
golden fruit bowls
raised their arms-
supporting the weights
of the ripened lemons
cut rinds
drooped their tears-
like ripples across a pond-
mixing with sweaty palms
pungent fumes
made for a grasp-
latching onto one's consciousness
as key in the lock
with decisive bites,
tangy acids
ran the gauntlet
of my throat
gazing off to
the verdant distance,
hills and valleys greeted my eyes-
towering with majestic ancientness
the ridges
of the lemon rinds
lay discarded in undeserved ignominy-
seesawing away with the wind
waves of summer heat
happily licked at my face,
windblown curtains
shuttered my eyes
