Original Seed Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Original Seed



She used a small delicate blade
to patiently peel the fruit
of its tough outer skin;
each layer curled away and
gently fell from its sweetness.

A better suited tool was needed
to rout out the center
where the original seed
could be effectively expelled.

Its thrust violent and effective
brought the color of a memory;
she could only watch and weep
as the blood of today
drained from yesterday's sorrow.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
a psychological poem represented here by an apple, and is about how we carve away one thin layer at a time at old issues to reveal our sweetest selves, but one day it becomes necessary to get at the root of our issues and with a better tool. The removal of any original (root) or planted seed is swift and painful and necessary for any hope of final healing.
