“Love is like a reckless twin; I’m giving in.” Scandipop on the radio, The scent of marijuana hanging heavy in the air; The fruits of my love lie wasted, Rotting away, Overripe and burdensome, And I drink deeply from the sweet pools of wine That gather where the fruits were bruised, Either by their lesser fall, Or their greater failure, Having been inspected by most, And rejected by all.

The Faithless Fruit
“Love is like a reckless twin; I’m giving in.” Scandipop on the radio, The scent of marijuana hanging heavy in the air; The fruits of my love lie wasted, Rotting away, Overripe and burdensome, And I drink deeply from the sweet pools of wine That gather where the fruits were bruised, Either by their lesser fall, Or their greater failure, Having been inspected by most, And rejected by all.
Inspired by Mads Langer's 'Lonely Street.' Marked explicit just in case. You can find more of my poetry at caitlincacciatore.wordpress.com
