Custard apple



I just think these are so cool

they are from an organic farm up in north
so tropical
so alluring
we had a whole box
they came wrapped in purple tissue paper

the thick skin peels easily away
its like soft and melted leather
the flesh breaks into soft light pieces
and the pips are hard and crunchy

added one to a juice
now
we only have 2 left.

A surprising tropical fruit
with a strangely comforting name
matched the uncanny
last few warm summery days
where warm breezes wove giant clouds
off shore, there was something,
as lovely as the days were,
that was not quite right about it all.
