pomegranate

early
this morning
i woke
from
a dream
of
pomegranate
stained kisses

last night
before
bed
i spoke
with
my publisher
about
possibly using
a
pomegranate
as the
cover art
for
my collection

when
i woke
from
the dream
i read
a
poem
from one
of
my favorites
she
mentioned
a
pomegranate

i
fell
back asleep
not
connecting
all the random
seeds

then
this morning
i was looking
at
memories
on social media
and
one year ago
today
i
had written
a tale
of
persephone and hades
and
had
posted
a picture
of
a
pomegranate

my soul
has
become
a
pomegranate
each
ode
is another
seed
so
let the juice
run
down
your chin
consume me
as
i stain
you

there
is
no such thing
as
coincidence
