By Mia Sara

Persephone At Gelson’s

Not quite trusting myself
with the newborn year
knowing now what I didn’t know
about inevitable disappointment
I linger in the aisles at Gelson’s Market
where that sexy young guy in produce
winks at me, tossing me a pomegranate,
and that’s when it hits me,
not all fruit is bitter at the seed.
