Words are ripe pomegranates

that fall to earth

that fall to earth
that fall to earth
and split open.
and split open.
What was within turns outward,
What was within turns outward,
the fruit reveals its secret,
the fruit reveals its secret,
showing its seeds, —Hilde Domin, translated by Sarah Kafatou
