Watermelon
This watermelon
was something
more like a bowling ball than a melon,
it dragged your arms down
as you held it in your hands,
wondering at its weighty greeness
so much heavier
than
your run of the mill
supermarket special
And so much
juicier too
as we cut our first slice
red water dripped sweetly
leaving wet pink stains
all over the kitchen bench
