Watermelons with alternating
stripes
of forest green and lime
Breadfruit with many hues of
mosaic diamonds
Crimson skinned apples with
constellations of gold stars
Nutbrown coconut husks
Eggplant purples
Silk crowning ears of corn
Opened pomegranates
with seeds not of granite
but juicy rubies hidden
in chambers
Pears of yellow and amber
Violet grapes and blueberries in clusters
swelling with the sun's luster
These are not the green
of meat's gangrene
the rust red of congealed
animal flesh blood
but entire color spectrum
visible
only in nonviolent fruit.
