Soul fruit (Free verse) by fevriere
There is one part of your soul
unscarred,
and it wears the marks of suffering
like a lilywhite newborn.
Oh, it has lived
(it has been around some,
this smooth word)
and it pours forth, like the seasons
in inconceivable surity:
fruit forever.
All rich virtues ripen there.
Whether it is
the divinity of the blood
the brightness of its purity
the warmth of feeling
- the soul can't say. All it knows
is what comes forth.
Mary, too, was astounded by fruit.
