Confessions of a Bitter Fruit
May 1, 2013
The bright yellow peel
Hiding a shockingly pink center
Burns the fingers at first reveal
The bittersweet taste no gentler
Tears escape the pulp
Running down palms
Exacerbating thirst in one sculp
Giving one too many qualms
But refreshing taste
Defeats any worry
Leaving only waste
Juice left in a slurry
Grapefruit.
