« love, i ask you | Main | March Sonnet »

mango (a found poem)

place (slender) mango
slice exposing
ends

pare away
(exquisite) remaining
bits of skin

slice (perfumed)
flesh make
two rounded shapes

without peeling
slice (precious)
close to the pit

on both sides
cutting (abundance)
cubes of mango

expose flesh
without biting
(sweetness) skin

bend (tongues) fruit
backward pushing
up under

make (shining) bow
mango still
attached to skin

mix papaya
pineapple (blossoms)
kiwi sugar lime

serve (divine) mango

    Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

    In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

    It is likely to be -- it is best if it is -- a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

    A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think -- but it is not necessarily biographical.
