I Know the Reason
I know the reason you left the rind on the melon—
you wanted the bite to hold both worlds.
You said the green makes the red redder,
that perfection’s a kind of lie.
I just nodded, took another slice,
and thought how love is like that too—
sweet at the center,
but always holding on to something hard.
