Pear

The sallow skin sloughs from pale
trucculent

meat. Dropping, curled
in pain, onto the cold morning

tile, the skin bounces from
side to side.

a syrupy puddle pools in the
tiles' cracks.

the cutting board
is traced with the tiny highways

after years of use and the
naked pear sits ready to be

eaten.
