Segments of Fruit
Farewell Hex: #7851A9
A fruit peeled perfectly in one single
Cascading
Spiral
Leaving six segments of fruit
Gripped together
Milky shroud
in
perfect cyclic symmetry.
and in a flash you’ve eaten one
and in a flash its delicious
and gone
how do you lose one sixth of a mom?
when the rainbow loses a bit of its shine
and you’ve forgotten the hue
in the glass
of your mulberry wine
It took a village to raise the wild
Into something resembling a seedling,
a small happy child,
Who was given a good healthy stock of root
And busy enjoying the rest of his
Segments of fruit
To my aunt who I was always so proud of for publishing her stories.
Thank you for reading.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

This poem warmed my heart. I loved it.
This one is beautifully written, it feels tender and quietly heartbreaking. 💔🍊
