Ode To Onions
Star of the garden,
A crystalline appearance:
Shining in the earth.
·
Glossy crystal scales,
Polished platinum goblet:
An edible bulb.
·
Round bowl of water,
A flask of white flaky skin:
Bitter to the taste.
·
A heavenly globe,
Underground constellation:
Garden of onions.
—Raul Moreno
Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s ,
“Ode to the Onion”
