Pomegranate we watched
Hang for weeks the thud
Came in the night like a head
Like a soft blow to the head
That woke us for a moment
Of pure terror rending us
Unconscious but in the morning
To calm ourselves we buried
It in a sunny corner of the yard
Gathering up our ripe and rotten
Thoughts and burying them with it
That it save itself and us
