Petri Dish By Rachel Stevens

The Rising Phoenix Review

May 26

Petri Dish

Low hanging fruit
Spoiled rotten
Once at five
Twice at seven
Thrice at sixteen
And again at thirty
Shriveled citrus navel
Rotten apple core
Precious peach fuzz
And a swollen
Engorged
Plum

Twice awake
Twice asleep
Either way
Peeled and pared
Sweet supple fruit
Pristine against the morning dew

I wonder how these boys turned men
Drink their juice
Without flinching

Now ripened
She is made to feel
Like the evening summer breeze
Like lazy newspaper Sunday mornings
Like stealing candy from a baby
Easy

By Rachel Stevens
