Lemon

A

          lemon

                           falls

& Becomes a planet.

It hovers on the ground

searching for its equator

                                               - as we all did before.

A lemon from north,

sour tropic, dormant lava juice,

not salty enough to rhyme with tears.

                                              (Carrying water like us did).

At a kiss of a blade,

it erupts. Liquid universe surging

within, galaxies, nebulas,

                                              Spinning, like we all hoped that we were

Three seeds emerge from the debris

of the explosion. Ellipsis

that sprout, that track the punctuations of a cosmic:

                                              As we all are, walking atoms with meanings

                                              & Pauses.

                                     rises.

                 a lemon
