Chapter 46 - Plums

You pass away

The second your down the street

Sweet and dull

Only if I dug in

Peeled back the modest shell

Would I find radiance

Scarlet essence

A syrup vein

A waterfall of flavor

You roll away

Down the hill

And I ponder

Your outer appearance

Your flesh

Your loves

Your hopes

If I held you in my hand

Your dreams would burst from their case

Pulpy and sweet

A party running down my fingers

Nature's gift

There are so many that I will never eat

So many I will never meet

And I just keep walking and forget every detail of your face

How your back is slumped and feet carry you with a bounce
