A pomegranate is a spiritual practice.
Peeling away the surface to
seeds full of juice
Bursting on my fingers and on my tongue
All over my clothes and sheets with
a satisfying crunch. It's time consuming
And if your attention wanders
little stains soak deep into the fabric
And stay beneath your nails. Requiring focus,
Mindfulness, time, and appreciation-only then
Will you fully catch the scent, will you understand the texture, the weight-will you treasure the process and will the flavor slowly
Revive your soul.
