Split it open, I ask you
thick and full and bursting ripe
this is the time, expose what is inside
share your fruits, the cluster of seeds within
you cannot let the ripeness linger closed
for to ripen fully, unshared, is to shrivel unknown
your sweetness and aliveness gifts to no one,
they shift to bitterness and mush within their skins
crack it open, it is okay if the seam is not straight
use a knife, a sharp edge, your hands if you need to
there is no right way, just share what you have
its is yours to give, and you must give
must give and partake and revel in others' joy
such pleasure brought through taste and texture
deep purple, not bright like an apple, but deep and velvety
your richness and softness are not to be compared
they are the inherent gifts you bear and you bring
let out the juices, the sweet flesh, and just breath
in and out, your scent in the air, filling the space
