🍒 🍏 🍑 🍋

Make Your Wishes 

Grieve them when they don’t come true. 
Eat the fruit in front of you. 
Dust the seeds from your chest-bone. 
Crack it open, inspect a bit. 
Nothing is so damaging as a wish
Left to rot. 
So make them, put them out the door,
Ask them to carry themselves. 
Then grieve
As they grow into something 
Beyond you. 
See the tree. It bears more fruit.
