Pomegranate
~ Meredith ~
In autumn fruit, and in art, and in life (if we’re going to tempt sentiment here), what we must remember is this:
The season will pass you by if you let it. Don’t.
Forget the proper way, the gentle bowl of water in the sink, your sharpest knife.
Just yank the darned thing open.
Make the mess; nothing near you is safe. It never was.
Shove your fingers in.
Have no mercy, and no shame.
The stain, on fingertips and shirt-front and blond wood, is worth it.
It’ll whisper both spicy and sweet.
In time, it will fade. But you won’t forget.
Thus endeth the lesson.
