Small green globes that shroud
the delicate within –
angelic white kissed with sunset pink.
Without, they scramble silently
pulling, pulling –
for release of the tender heart.
Green yields, and yields
slowly it seems –
from its beginning orb.
The white flesh appears, peeled out
revealing its final flourish –
the beauty of spring.
