The Pear Dare
Blind as I could be
I reached for the fruit in front of me
Knowing this taste would be my last
From this day forward I must fast
Shaped like a woman's hips
I pressed the fruit against my lips
When I bite it the juices slips
Into the darkness of my abyss
Each bite is ecstasy
Fulfilling a need inside of me
As I share the pending doom
Of this fruit I now consume
Licking the remnants from my fingers
The aroma from my last meal lingers
Determined to see this to the end
My hunger strike can now begin
Joe Flach. PD's dare to me: Eat a piece of fruit, with your eyes closed..... Imagine that it's the last fruit you'll ever eat.. I dare you to write about the fruit, and POET every feeling you're having that moment...
