Description
Held
Maggie Devers
The sweetest meat is closest to the bone
The most tender, the most true
The tissue there is hardest to reach,
To manipulate from the outside.
If you squeezed my arm
How much bone would you feel?
Would the flesh push back
And guard my depths?
The fruit around the mango pit is sinewy
Unless it’s overripe,
Then it melts into your mouth.
