pears (three different ones)

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 02:34:37 GMT

Some say
it was a pear
Eve ate.

Why else the shape
of the womb,
or of the cello
Whose single song is grief
for the parent tree?

Why else the fruit itself
tawny and sweet
which your lover
over breakfast
lets go your pear-
shaped breast
to reach for?

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

you can never break the chain
