The Pomegranate Accords

Invariable--that cherrywood the players change, move chairs arrange a seating scheme  Sharon and Arafat engage in clumsy pirouette in awkward piety arrange  to skip together then away from the huge and weary dove  sleeping in a darkened cage   Carve the blighted table round when recorded music stops let the child left standing there   without any wounds at all   bring the pomegranate in When it's ripe (but only then) open it most carefully Bite into one bomb of seed (feel the flutter of white wings near the corner of your need)  It is fluid, almost sweet This is juice that can explode  Your lips pucker up for it, this is cherry luscious kiss  Spit the seed, the bitter part  do not feed it to the dove give the bird the seeds of sun growing on the western front  Pass the pomegranate round  Careful not to spill the juice  it will bloody up the dove
