Watermelon Seeds

By Olga Latapi
watermelon_seeds

Illustration by Barry Pyngrope

  the purple land

 the red of nature

 of flowers

 of birds

 is not in conversation

 who can hear

 that dialogue

 and converse

 inverse

     break away

 fire

 and break the

 son

 I mean

 Sun

 what is this nourishment

  if the seeds

 from the watermelon

  die

 with the birds

     enter then

 and be

    a morsel of the red

 when the hand hurts

 and breaks away

 when wings fly alone

 and no song carries

 whisper then

 against all reservations

 against all protest

            deaf doors

 and once wooden lives

 hope

  under birds

 go then

 where there are no more
