peaches

of course,

the things we know are fleeting.

I’ve always understood that much.

and while inside I’ve held my breath,

I’ve never lacked the oxygen to connect.

“I’ve skirted worse”

I assure myself-

I’ve lifted more from deeper lurches.

I know with every peach there is a pit

and in them,

lie our dormant curses.

Great poem! It’s a coincidence that your poem is titled “peaches,” because my poem is as well! Feel free to check it out! https://thefinickycynicat.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/peaches-poem/

I’ve read this poem! I liked it a while back. it’s lovely.

I had my first peach today and I wrote the poem in my head as I ate it.
