Shine
through the night
pomegranate
seeds
aureole
of mango
feel
the sacred pulse
of
earth emerging
my
heart
desiccated
from
a lifetime
of
disappointment
dealing
with
grown ups
drinks
deep this spring rain
tears
of gratitude
for
each voice
of thousands
of
young people
united
for truth
a
spoonful
of
red tangy seeds
each
one pops juicy
full
of promise
but
that’s not all
the
core yields nutty satisfaction
substantial
resurrection
my
spirit
limp
from
lies
revives
in
the courage
of
their words
beyond
politics
they
restore the value
of
each human life
fertile
sunrise
firm
yet soft
smooth
mango
honey
sweet
is
wisdom
reclaimed
in
this spring harvest
