Bittersweet Fruit
Pomegranates burst open
like shrapnel
spitting red sweetness
in all directions
blood on walls,
on sidewalks
on imploding storefronts
here and there
a piece of skin
a fragment
in Hebrew
pomegranate and hand grenade
are the same word
so are peace and goodbye
coexistence
waiting
to explode
any minute
