the soft yellow phased with brown speckles skin rusty at its ends, smooth along the surface peel away the velvet yellow layerif you are skillful, no strings are left behind

a perfect slate

but if youre clumsy like methe stringy yellow strands clings onto life

corea pale cream of whiteglimmers behind the afternoon sunnext to the tossed away banana peels

phloem bundles pray for survival

inside that metal binsurfing among a treasure island forgotten

bananas i chew it away, the ghost in my stomach

yellow skin, tossed away
