may gasp,
as the skin is breached
-throwing succinct directives to the air
telling you where next to move your fingers,
how to handle with a gentle -ness,
exposing more flesh
as the
rough exterior
is pulled away in a continuous motion.
do not crush
this will force the pulp down
to the ground, wasted.
when ready, its sweet odors and juices
may now be tasted
and consumed.
